Forum Uploading a smilie not working
 

In 4.0.5 I am try to upload a .jpg from my local mac drive.
In admin->Upload Smilie I am clicking on the browse put to fill in the path ( Filename: /Users/Home/Junk/BM.jpg ) I accepted the default Smilie File Path of "images/smilies" and filled in the rest of the info and got: "Invalid File Path Specified"

I tried ./images/smilies and "/public_html/forums/images/smilies" for the smilie file path.

I reset the whole image directories and subdirectories and files to 0775.

What's wrong?
