Create a proper 'file' form element that handles all the background  
stuff for you.

And then a 'files' element for multiple files (ala upload)

You could add an extra couple of variable to their defaults .. ie :

function system_elements() {
   $info['file'] = array('#domain' => 'node', '#dest' => variable_get 
('files_dir', ''), '#key' => $node->nid)
   return $info;
}

This would make it absolutely braindead easy to upload a file.

you just add a file element in it, and you'd use either one of the  
common domains, or create your own. (ie: image, user, node)
