 From recollection, the most likely problem is lack of a valid UTC 
ISO 8601 timestamp in each GPS track point.  Failing that, what I did 
was make a small two point file and then upload it / remove it 
repeatedly.  Start by cutting out all the optional metadata header 
stuff and then play around.

For reference, here is a file that definitely uploaded, followed by 
what I *think* should be the minimum cut-down version that will still 
work.  I'm using GPX 1.1 but as I recall GPX 1.0 also works.

Also, make sure that your uploaded file size is below 1MB (or is it 
2MB?) or the upload will fail without explanation, though I think 
you've got beyond that stage.  A kind OSM member pointed out to me 
that you can zip the file and upload that - helps on dial-up lines as 
the rate of compression is huge!
