 WordPress's plug-in updating mechanisms have worked on my installation for
 as long as they've existed, until v2.7.

 Now, it reports "Unable to locate WordPress Plugin directory. Plugin
 upgrade Failed."  Unfortunately, it doesn't report any useful, specific
 information (i.e. where it thinks it should be, etc.).

 The plug-in directory hasn't moved, and is in the same standard place it's
 always been.

 I notice that the plug-in updating UI now just asks for a hostname, and
 not a path. It should ask for a path, since sftp-ing to the hostname
 doesn't resolve to wordpress's root directory. I'm assuming this is why
 the new code doesn't work.
