Jeff-

You may be on the right track...

Maybe the problem is in $new_file_name? 
use File::Basename wq(basename);
my $new_file_name = basename($input_file);
die "no such file: $input_file" unless -s $input_file;

The first two lines of this gave me problems, with the error:
Undefined subroutine &main::wq called at /home/auctionb/public_html/cgi-bin...bla, bla

But the third line (the die line) got me an interesting error message (when the first two lines were commented out):

no such file: e:\test\picture.jpg at /home/auctionb/public_html/cgi-bin/auction/bulklister.pl line 280.

It looks to me, based on this, that it can't find my input file, e:\\test\\picture.jpg. So why is that? It looks to me that for some reason the script (at the host) is not looking for the file at my local computer... ideas?

You also advised:
Test it against your own FTP server running with verbose logging and see what the FTP server logs report?
You will have to excuse my technical ignorance here, but I am not sure what you mean or how to do it. :(
