Hmm. Do you have control of the client's server? Their server is
running PHP version 4.06, perhaps the admins have disabled file
upload support to avoid the recently announced security problems with
pre-4.1.2 PHP and file upload handling.

There's no other sane explanation for why this isn't working. :-)
