 User has "WordPress address" (siteurl) set to http://www.tuxotaku.com and
 "Blog address" (home) set to http://tuxotaku.com. Both are valid URLs.

 get_home_path() in wp-admin/includes/file.php is trying to take the "home"
 address off the front of "siteurl" to get the path to .haccess. The "www."
 messes up the str_replace() call, and get_home_path() just returns "/"
 instead of the path to the WordPress files.

 Additionally, user's server has open_basedir configured and gives error
 that "File(/) is not within the allowed path(s):" when
 is_writable($home_path) called in save_mod_rewrite_rules() (misc.php).

 Told user to set both URLs to http://www.tuxotaku.com and it cleared up
 the problem.

 Maybe add a warning message to the General admin screen if "siteurl"
 doesn't start with the URL from "home"?
