 The relative url for the upload path assumes it is under the siteurl (ie
 wordpress folder) and the default suggests wp-content/uploads, which
 implies that one should be loading files under the wp-content directory.
 However relative url always loads under specified 'siteurl'

 It does not make sense to have uploads in wordpress code directory,
 I think the assumption should be that the relative upload path is
 either[[BR]]

 1. under the home url  or[[BR]]

 2. under the potentially relocated wp-content directory.[[BR]]


 One can get around this for now by using the "full url path" and have the
 uploads wherever you want - (Although the flash loader does not seem happy
 loading to top level directory, even though I have mod security fix there)
