...is the error I get when attempting to update a plugin. Would someone with similar experience share it with me?
Would have to take a look but it sounds like the plugin folder may be stuffed up. You will probably have to do that manually. Nigel
Check directory permissions, looks like plugins just don't have rigth to write in desired directory. Also check this topic out - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20673184/wordpress-fails-to-install-plugins-unable-to-locate-wordpress-plugin-directory
