just testing myself and get same error will see what is causing it.
Think a found it.
file extensiosn in admin looks like this:
.jpg,.gif,.xls, etc
if you look close to original installed extensions you will see that some , are set as .
i deleted all . amd made sute extensions are delimited wih,
so it looks like jpg,gif,xls, and now upload is accepted

Hi Vicor, just had a go with this and found that it still doesnt work.
I have set the file types as :
"jpg,gif,png,tiff,bmp"
And left the MIME Types blank.
If you look at this page :

Many thanks!

did test it on 1.5.4.1 and managed to get it working will install 1.5.5.1 and do a test there as well to see if it works there.
Just installed a version of 1.5.5.1 same as you are using.
if you upgraded then the problem is probaly in the upgrade since file extensions are set different in 1.5.5.1.
sent you a pm with login to backend so you can check

file extensions are case sensetive.
so make sure you specify capitals as well
JPG
PDF

In case anyone is still looking for a solution to this issue i have stumbled accross this. You need to not only add the file extension to the upload option but you must also add it in the system > settings > your store > server. If you are trying to upload files with capitalized extensions you must add the capitalized version of it in the allowed file extensions box. Hope this helps someone.
