That's a good sign... at least the file is getting there... somehow.

Smells like uploaded... tastes like uploaded... it must be uploaded!  So
basically, everything happens as expected, except the file isn't in the
expected directory?  Maybe the admin has changed upload directories or paths?
 What event exactly causes the upload to be realized as unsuccessful?

It must be a sysadmin problem.  http://us2.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php might be
handy to realize any differances between your previous version and 4.3.0, but
none come to mind off the bat.
