VariableDoesNotExist error
When I attempt to upload a new logo in the Settings panel, I get the following in my logs:

I've tried the suggestions in http://askbot.org/en/question/3095/django-error-variabledoesnotexist-failed-lookup, but urls.py seems fine, django.core.context_processors.request is in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in settings.py, and the database migrations/syncing are up-to date.
I'm running Askbot 0.7.4 on Ubuntu 10.04 against Postgresql 8.4 on Python 2.6.5.
