 I need to have a custom upload_path and upload_url_path so that uploads
 are served from a separate dedicated server.  The problem is that the file
 URL is always being overwritten by a URL that points to a subdirectory
 under my main wordpress install.

 I tracked down the problem to the following code within the  wp_upload_dir
 function of wp-includes/functions.php:


 {{{
 if ( defined('UPLOADS') && ( WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads' != ABSPATH .
 $upload_path ) ) {
     $dir = ABSPATH . UPLOADS;
     $url = trailingslashit( $siteurl ) . UPLOADS;
 }
 }}}

 Because I have an $upload_path defined this conditional is always trigged
 and the $url is overwitten when I want it to keep it as get_option(
 'upload_url_path' )
