It wasn't that huge a technical problem, just that the hosting provider had configured the account so none of the users could chmod files, which led to Movable Type spitting out whacko error messages. If I'd been using an FTP client that displayed error messages, I would have figured it out the first time.
The cool thing, though, is that I called upon my ancient and rotting Linux/Unix knowledge reserves (the calling up of which required blood sacrifices and such, as I am committedly non-geeky but was once required to do such things) to fix the problem over SSH.
