To clarify this:

load_plugin_textdomain( $domain, $path_from_abspath,  
$path_from_plugins_folder )

The second parameter is the path to the .mo file, relative to  
ABSPATH.  This method is ***deprecated***, in favor of the third  
parameter.

The third parameter (which will override the second) is the relative  
path of the .mo file from the /plugins/ folder, e.g. "myplugin" or as  
above, "myplugin/languages"
