This means, that the current working directory ( abbreviated with cwd)
of the server damon sshd does not exist anymore. It was probably
removed. Did you remove sshd by any chance? If yes, the sshd version
that was installed might still be running, but it's installation
directory was removed?
The next idea that I have, is that the old installation of the sshd is
still running, but it's cwd was removed and replaced with an directory
from the upgrade package.
Did you try to restart the sshd on the server machine?
# service sshd restart
Before you do that, check whether the sshd is installed at all on ther
server machine:
# rpm -q openssh-server
