The question is, does it upload the file to the appropriate place?
Personally when I specify an upload_to path I omit the beginning and
end slashes.
Also, I believe the upload_to path is only appended at the time of
upload. So, if you already had the aforementioned entry in the
database before you set the upload_to path you may get the result you
are seeing.
