You say this:
there is folder userfiles/grega
But the error says this:
move_uploaded_file(/userfiles/grega)
Those are two very (even if subtly) different paths. Note also where you define the path in your code:
$uploads_dir = '/userfiles';
The code is looking for a folder called userfiles in the root of the entire file system, not just in the website. Perhaps you meant to do this?:
$uploads_dir = 'userfiles';
