I always get the error when uploading an avatar

IOError at /profiles/profile/edit/avatar/

[Errno 13] Permission denied:
u'/project-folder/media/avatars/2008/Dec/01/myavatar_.jpg'

Point to line 214.

 207.  form = AvatarForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
 208. if form.is_valid():
 209. image = form.cleaned_data.get('url') or form.cleaned_data.get('photo')
 210. avatar = Avatar(user=request.user, image=image, valid=False)
 211. avatar.image.save("%s.jpg" % request.user.username, image)
 212. image = Image.open(avatar.image.path)
 213. image.thumbnail((480, 480), Image.ANTIALIAS)

 214. image.convert("RGB").save(avatar.image.path, "JPEG") ...

 215. avatar.save()
 216. return HttpResponseRedirect('%scrop/' % request.path_info)

i think you need to change the directory permissions for media. To check this 
you can
insecurely open write access for the whole media directory, then go from there:
  chmod -R a+rw media
(from project root)
you should not get a write error after that.
To secure the media dir better, you should read up on Unix permissions.

I'm sure that it's not unix&permissions related problem, I try all the ways with
permissions (including your way)

Maybe its about PIL libraries, but I dont expect to be answered and resolved in 
a
short time by the PIL team, not so dynamic... and I only have that problem with
django-profile.

I have no problem with admin interface but site throws the errors below
