Post please the
mod of your directory and tell me the
user and group of your apache. Maybe the apache dont have
rights to create a new file in your directory but he owns the newfile and can remove/edit this file.

Under safe mode, fopen("filename", "w") fails to create a file if it
doesn't exist, complaining about open_basedir restriction. However, the filename refers to the
file in the directory configured in the open_basedir. Besides, if the same file is created
manually, fopen() can open it for writing without any problems. The directory is writeable to the
web server.
$dir = '/var/www/tmp/submit';
// Fails if the file doesn't exist.
// Succeeds if the file does exist
fopen( "$dir/file.txt", "w" ); // Fails if the file doesn't exist.
mkdir( "$dir/foo", 0700 ); // SUCCEEDS!!! Notice the same path.
