Comment:

 This seems to be a failure from [http://us2.php.net/move_uploaded_file
 move_uploaded_file()] not a failed upload due to any sort of upload /
 memory limits.  When a file is uploaded, it is first uploaded to a
 temporary folder / name (e.g. /tmp/upload1234) then the php app (in this
 case !WordPress) has to move the file to the desired location (e.g.
 /var/www/html/wp-content/uploads/...).  This step is failing for some
 reason.

 Check the notes on the php page for move_uploaded_file for tips on how to
 troubleshoot this on your server.

 The error message is accurate.
