I am having this same problem. It's really weird because I wasn't having any difficulty but then all of a sudden I started getting these messages.
I don't get the message when uploading documents (pdf, doc, txt, etc.) only image files. If it's truly an open_basedir issue then I would assume it should error out when uploading any file... correct?
Also, I have programs running an earlier version of CI on the same server doing the same thing without any trouble. I looked back in the CI change logs and don't see any changes to the upload library that would have caused this problem. Did I miss something?
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
