I'm using servage.net hosting and I'm having problems with auto updater.
I've found a workaround her:

By changing the below string in wp-admin/include/file.php
if ( getmyuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
to
if ( posix_getuid() == fileowner($temp_file) )
I'm not aware of the exact consequences, if any, but it solved the problem
in both 2.6.5 and 2.7-almost-rc-9965
If the above string could be changed permanently it would be of great help
to users with the same problem.
Not sure thats wise.
getmyuid — Gets PHP script owner's UID
posix_getuid — Return the real user ID of the current process
The purpose of the code you have changed is to determine whether or not
the updater can use direct file access to update the files whilst still
keeping the permissions suitable for you to be able to access the files
by ftp etc.
This is why we use getmyuid as that gets the owner of the files - i.e. you
Using posix_getuid probably gets the webserver user which means you
don't own the files any more!
You should still be able to do the upgrades/installs using one of the
ftp filesystem abstractions.
