 * I recommend contacting your host and asking them why “php_uname() has been disabled
   for security reasons,” as it is used by WordPress and the source of your problems
   in this case.

 * I would do a text search of your files for the phrase “PclZipUtilTranslateWinPath”
   to see where that function is being called from.
 * I would also ask your host if they can reenable php_uname() or provide a workaround.
