Hmm... we've specifically made modifications to the upgrade script to bypass the UID limitation of safe_mode. This was done by having the upgrade script copy itself, thus creating a copy on the drive owned by webserver's UID. Since it was owned by webserver's UID according to safe_mode it should have been able to write/edit/delete the files owned by the server assuming it had file system permissions to those files/directories.

Your problem actually was because your forum's web dir was owned by a 'user' rather then the webserver, thus based on safe_mode it could not write to that dir. The solution to this problem would have been to chown the directory, so that it is owned by the webserver.
A work around solution is to remove the dir and have a php script via the web re-create it, thus making it owned by the webserver.

Ken. if you want to convince your host about uselessness of safe_mode show them the output of this:
<?php show_source('/etc/passwd'); ?>
