It's the same thing. For now, download/upload directory which is above your documentroot is not supported yet.
Meaning you can't put it above your document root, see msg #2185 and the reply in #2186.

However you could try to put it on your other harddisk, then make a directory (f.e. downloads) in your document root on the first HD and then symlink this directory to your other directory on the other harddisk. I'm not sure, but if filerights are oke, there is a big chance this will work.
Otherwise you can't upload to that directory on hd2, but you can link to the files in there when adding files via the "link to file" option.

Put your forums offline, then re-upload all files and set overwrite to yes hardcoded in your ftp program if possible (with flashfxp you can).
Reimport the product file an set overwrite to yes and put your forums online again.
Often this methode helps fixing these kind of problems.

@TTG: You could have a try to do the same and see if things get fixed.
