I found it’s quite often to see this error when upgrading WordPress or any of it’s plugin.
Could not create directory. /public_html
It’s quite tricky that actually it doesn’t know exact path causing the upgrade problem, and usually changing the permission of web root does’t work still.
May be you can try wp-content/upgrade to 777. It works for me this time.
WordPress 3.0.1

I tried to update my WordPress to 3.0.1 and got so many problems. It seems not easy and smooth as previous updates.
Problems occurred again and again. “Could not create directory. /public_html.”, “Could not copy file.: /public_html/x/wp-admin/css/theme-editor.dev.css”… “. And I even change files permission wrong and crash my whole blog! Hopefully I can restore everything from backup (ALWAYS backup is eternally true!). And end up I just follow the steps from WordPress and perform manual update, actually it’s pretty easy, just replacing all files, I can’t see the reason why it has so many problems before. Anyway, if you got the same problem, make sure you have stable connection to your host and do manual update! Again, remember to backup your site beforehand!
