There appears to be something wrong with the path.

It has been my experience that without these settings file uploads don't work. Maybe it is my particular setup in which I switched the account under which CF runs, but that is the story. Nothing really to explain here, he should just try it to see if this fixes it, sounds like 2 minutes of work to me and (on a properly set up server) it shouldn't be a real security risk because execute access is denied (the usual if's and but's apply).
