WordPress Automatic Upgrade fix for local file access permissions bug

I've just upgraded this WordPress installation to the new point release, 2.6. Being lazy, I used a plugin to help me do it, "Wordpress Automatic Upgrade". Unfortunately it has a bug at the beginning that prevents local file access, so I ended up using the FTP method (which worked perfectly). I had a look at the plugin afterwards though, and was able to figure out what the problem was, and posted a fix to the forums.

- wpau_prelimcheck.class.php

Hope someone out there finds this useful.
