It was actually a permissions issue (kind of). Apache was obviosly 
able to write to /tmp because that's were the scanned files were 
temporarily stored.

I switched the log directory for my shell script from /tmp to 
/var/log/apache2. This is where Apache writes its log files so I 
could not expect any permission issues. Despite of that Apache's 
error.log now showed permission errors. There were no error log 
entries when I used /tmp.

I created a new directory and made www-data the owner. Now everything 
works fine.

Thanks, guys
