upload issues

so last week I was trying to get my 1.2.1 install to write uploads to  
the correct ./uploads/UserName/ path.

after playing with it some I noticed getUploadFilePath wasn't  
returning an ending slash which was odd since it was explicitly coded.


function getUploadFilePath() {
     if (defined('UPLOAD_FILE_PATH')) return UPLOAD_FILE_PATH;
     return defined('PHPWIKI_DIR')
         ? PHPWIKI_DIR . "/uploads/"
         : realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../uploads/");
}


so not wanting to figure out why I just added a slash during the  
UpLoad.php and everything worked great.

      $file_dir .= "/";
             if (UPLOAD_USERDIR) {



now I migrated to 1.3.14 and again, same issue, writing to  
uploadsUserName instead of uploads/UserName, but what is even weirder  
is that it fails to actually write the file because
ERROR uploading '1.txt':

Only files with the extension 7z , avi , bmp , bz2 , c , cfg , diff ,  
doc , gif , h , ini , jpeg , jpg , kmz , mp3 , patch , pdf , png ,  
ppt , rar , tar , tar.gz , txt , xls , zip are allowed.

..

::boggle::

so it writes the incorrect DIR (this is a default 1.3.14 install,  
just downloaded it again last night) AND disallows the file.  I can't  
think of where to look for a fix as I'm looking at code that should  
work.   this has to be a deeper issue.  any ideas on what to report  
to help debug it?  thanks
