here's a small patch to fix. basically the custom url rewriting (for
when files haven't been yet saved to their final location) wasn't
taking into account FILE_DOWNLOADS_PRIVATE. this fixes that

(oh, and it also fixes an sql error in upload_download as well).

The private downloads are not working properly..

How to reproduce:
Goto 'http://www.your-site.com/admin/settings' and set the 'Download
method' to 'Private - files are transferred by Drupal'. Now, you make a
new item (blog/story/page/poll, whatever) and upload an image.
You should use this image inside your post, by doing an '' inside your
post, where $path is the url which is given in the 'Attachments'
form-group on the submission page. (Something like
'system/files?file=$yourfile.ext')
Then click 'Preview' and do not submit the node!

Now, have a look what we see..
We see that the image inside the post isn't displayed properly. The
image is broken. If we ask the properties of the image it points to the
right location ('system/files?file=$yourfile.ext'), but isn't
displayed.
If we take a look at the properties of the table under the node
(attached files table with 'Attachement', and 'List') we see that the
attachment is pointing to something like
'http://www.frontaal-online.com/$file-system-path/$yourfile.ext'
instead of the private download url..

I'm not sure how to fix this, but I think it's a bug inside function
file_create_url() which could be found inside file.inc.

Now we are previewing the node with a broken image in it.. See the
properties of the image, which points to another location as the
'metallic.png' hyperlink inside the 'Attachment'-table under the node
preview.

The properties of the 'metallic.png'-link inside the table under the
node preview differs from where the source points us to.. The url
inside the table works, (which is the same as in public_dowloads), but
the url inside the body isn't...
