This is an old thread, but I noticed that no one actually hit upon the *real* problem.

It's an unfortunate short-coming of PHP itself. http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.post-max-size : "If the size of post data is greater than post_max_size, the $_POST and $_FILES superglobals are empty." Files are uploaded as post data. If the file being uploaded pushes the post data beyond the size allowed in php.ini, you get empty $_POST and $_FILES superglobals, which is why ZF complains about not being able to find your file field.
