You've tried most of the basic stuff -- my first thought would be
"are you running as you, but is your server running as somebody
else"? It would help to have the output of
ls -l /path/to/media/files/file_in_question.jpg
ls -l /path/to/media/ | grep files
to see the ownership and permissions on the file and its
containing directory, and then output
from getpass import getuser
print getuser()
in both your "python manage.py shell" or dev server (well, duh,
this should obviously be you...from your traceback, I'm guessing
it's "ase") and output it from your production
(apache/lighttpd/whatever) server (might have to render it into
some page). This might be something like 'www' or 'wwwdata', or
it might be you ("ase"), or it might be something completely
different.
Armed with that info, it might help track down the issue.
