I just worked this out yesterday.

This works for me, with .mo in a /languages/ folder inside the plugin  
folder:

$plugin_dir = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
load_plugin_textdomain( 'myplugin', 'wp-content/plugins/'. 
$plugin_dir.'/languages', $plugin_dir.'/languages' );

I'm sure you can adjust that for the .mo in the base plugin folder. ;-)
