What the SuspiciousOperation error means is that the ultimate file path (the one in the exception message) was not found to be "under" the MEDIA_ROOT path. That is, if you say MEDIA_ROOT is /home/kmt/webapp/ then Django will not allow a file to be uploaded to /home/xyz or /home/kmt or /...the files all have to be uploaded to /home/kmt/webapp/something_more. Django will not allow writing uploaded files to outside of the MEDIA_ROOT tree. Having an octal escape sequence in MEDIA_ROOT is going to cause a problem. If forward slashes don't work (they should, though) then try doubling the backslashes or making the string raw.
