Dear list,
my first post to this list and also starting with geonetwork so bare with
me. Hello everyone 
I directly ran in issure that was asked some months ago, but I couldn't
find an answer:
https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28699097
I had the same error, when trying to upload an image, with the scale
thumbnail checkbox checked. After disabling the scaling I get the following
error:
java.lang.Exception: unable to move uploaded thumbnail to destination
directory
Geonetwork is running in tomcat, tomcat user has permission everywhere, but
maybe not in the destination directory, but where is the destination
directory?
Thanks, Michael
