Problem with uploading file in CMS.

In Relate+ (2.0) in CMS when trying to upload files to Global Files, for example I get this error: 
Unable to cast object of type 'EPiServer.Common.GuestAuthor' to type 'EPiServer.Common.UserAuthor'.

It doesn't matter what user I use (currently CMS administrator).
Uploading files via Community (and on site) works just fine.

Inner Exception:

[InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'EPiServer.Common.GuestAuthor' to type 'EPiServer.Common.UserAuthor'.]

Seems like the Circuit template is trying to post a message then uploading the file in CMS, which should not be done.

After trying to upload I now get this error when viewing Global folder
