 * Okay, so basically here’s what happened. There was a botched install of WordPress,
   so there was a WP-Admin and a WP-Content directory in the /Public_HTML directory,
   but no WP-Includes directory. I had been working in the botched install directory,
   and was confused by the directories in the public HTML directory.
 * While I tried to update the Admin and Content directories in the public HTML 
   directory, I hadn’t imported the WordPress files or the WP-Includes directory.
 * So, the advice offered here was entirely correct. Especially GRAQ’s suggestion
   to move the WP-Includes directory in. I was halfway there, and when I imported
   the WP-Includes, I was able to update the database and everything is now working
   smoothly.
 * I took what I learned, and updated another website to 3.1 afterward without a
   hitch.
 * Thank you for the assistance!

 * Much thanks for your assistance.
