if I understand you correctly this has nothing to do with jails, but 
this is a problem with unix permissions.

if user webuser cannot read /jailroot/home/user1/ that user can also not 
follow a symlink into /jailroot/home/user1/upload/

you'll have to move the upload directory outside the home directory of user1
