I was able to fix this. Your site was setup to PHP safe mode. After disabling this feature the image upload worked correctly.

There is no harm is disabling this feature. The authors of PHP actually even removed this feature in PHP 5.4. Your host is running PHP 5.3 where the feature was deprecated.

Contrary to the name of the feature it does not really make PHP safe or provide any “real” security. This is something that you web host has already taken care of the server level. You can read more about safe mode if you want in this excellent article:

Hope that helps!
