We should be catching many more plugins now (though, as Matt  
mentioned, since we're not logging any stats at the moment, it's hard  
to tell from our end :) ).

As many have guessed, we were mistakenly conflating the title of  
plugin as specified by the readme.txt file and that given by the WP  
plugin header in the plugin file itself.  We're now comparing the  
correct (normalized) strings, so things should work much better.

There are still a few issues, but we're working on making it more  
robust.

If you're having update problems with a specific plugin, please let  
me know.
