When uploading a file to use as a feed, the $file needs to be given the flag permanent in the files table. Otherwise, Drupal will delete them after a period of time and users lose their data. The attached patch accomplishes this in the feedapi_node_validate function.

I simplified the patch. Let me know if it does the same what you want to achieve.
Also I use the FILE_STATUS_PERMANENT constant.

Also take a look on: #496088: Add tests for file upload ability , this test covers this issue as well.
