the filesystem mode is set to privat
filepath ist set to ../filestore
installing the image-picker creates the directory under filestore
Uploading a first file stores this file in the directory, but the image/thumbnail can not be seen
The path looks like this: Only local images are allowed.
but should be something like this? Only local images are allowed.

I have never used 'private' myself so I don't know how it works exactly, however I believe that php upload can support file uploads to a directory outside of the document root, providing that directory has the right permissions. If the files are there but cannot be accessed directly then that is in the nature of the http protocol, a web page can only access files under the document root.
A search of Drupal for 'private files' shows several links to modules that claim to handle this and it may be that one of them will hand files to a webpage so that they can be seen but at the moment I cannot see how imagepicker can be made to support 'private' without a substantial rewrite if at all.
