I'm not very familiar with FC, but could an open basedir restriction
be taking place?  or, sometimes /home is not read/listable to "all"
and thus apache can't get to it because the user apache runs as is not
in the users group.

I've never had this problem with debian/ubuntu but I also usualy put
the files dir right next to the docs root, so on your server i'd have
it in /var/www/files/

also check what phpinfo() says the doc root is, there's a link for it
in the Admin menu of phpgroupware.
