Hey, I've just tested CKAN 1.7.1 with the organizations plugins enabled
and file upload works fine for me, so I think we're looking for a
problem with your environment.

Some questions:

- Is this a CKAN 1.7.1 source install or package install?
- What operating system is it installed on?
- Do you have any custom auth settings in your CKAN ini file? e.g. any
  ckan.default_roles.* settings?
- Are you using the local storage or the cloud storage with CKAN's
  FileStore?

And some things to try:

- Make sure that the UNIX user that your web server runs as (e.g.
  www-data on Ubuntu) has permission to read and write to your
  ofs.storage_dir (assuming you're using local file storage)

  e.g. on Ubuntu:

  sudo chown www-data /path/to/your/ofs/storage_dir
  sudo chmod u+rwx /path/to/your/ofs/storage_dir
  sudo service apache2 restart

- Have you installed pairtree?

- Have you installed argparse?
