Not necessarily, a couple of months ago I also had problems installing 
extensions with safe_mode enabled. The problem was that the mkdir() 
statements creating the extension directories specified those directories 
with a trailing slash, which caused the following error:

Warning: Unable to access 
/shared/www/www.xxxxxx.de-443/htdocs/typo3conf/ext/test_quikum/ in 
/shared/typo3/typo3_src-3.5b5/typo3/mod/tools/em/index.php on line 1767

It seems mkdir() doesn't like trailing slashes in safe_mode (Debian 3.0, 
PHP 4.1.2). I removed them by some minor changes of the source and now it 
works fine for me both with safe_mode on and off. Kasper knows about this 
and my guess is this problem will be gone with the next release.

Of course I don't know if this is the cause for the original poster's 
problem though, might also be a permission/owner issue :)
