Hm seems I lied. My php.ini upload_dir was set to
/var/log/lighttpd/uploads but my lighttpd server.upload-dirs was set
to /web/uploads which resides on the gluster mount.

So then my guess is something with how lighttpd handles http uploads
and gluster dont like each other? Known issue or anyway to
troubleshoot? I switched the lighttpd config to match and my script
now works correctly so my problem is "fixed" sort of hehe.
