[SOLVED] Cannot Import Theme After Successful Install

[QueenOfStarWears]

I am not new to using cmsms and LOVE this cms. I am using it again for a new project and am hitting a roadblock I've never seen before.

I have hosting on GoDaddy:
Linux
PHP 5.x
MySQL 5.0

All permissions for folders have been changed as necessary.
CHMOD these directories to 777:

* tmp
* tmp/templates_c
* tmp/cache
* uploads
* uploads/images
* modules

Safemode is off.

When I go to layout-->theme manager--> import
I get the following message:

WARNING: You have insufficient permissions to upload or install themes. This may be due to the permissions on the uploads or modules subdirectories, or Safe mode may be in effect on your server.

I have been browsing this site and the net for solutions, but can't seem to fix the error.

I use Dreamweaver CS3 for ftp.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Let me add that when I go to my newly created site to Site Admin-->System Information
I get all greens EXCEPT I only have a few cautions and I've never changed them before:

Maximum Execution Time (max_execution_time):
30 Caution

Maximum Post Size (post_max_size):
8M Caution

Maximum Upload Size (upload_max_filesize):
8M Caution

More Information:

I just did a reinstall from scratch. The version is
1.9.4.1 "Faanui"

The only odd thing I see (I don't know what this SHOULD be) is the umask setting. I left it as a default.
Owner: unknown
Group: unknown
Permissions: -rw-r--r-- (0644)

I seem to be able to upload images fine (just testing stuff here and there), but I still get the error message when I click on IMPORT for a theme.

I changed the umask to everything under the sun (based on previous posts) and changing it to 000 seemed to work.

Thanks!
