[wp-testers] WP-filesystem - Automatic Plugin Upgrader Issues

[Matt]

When I tried giving it FTP info with access to my entire home dir, and my
entire public_html dir, it either said it couldn't remove the old file, or
it said is succeeded, when really it didn't.

When I gave it FTP info with just access to the dir where it's installed, it
sometimes said it couldn't remove the old file, but would also sometimes say
it succeeded, and actually have updated the plugin.

This is on BlueFur.com hosting, Apache 2.2.6, PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.0.45, if
it matters.
