What, exactly, does the button say that you clicked on?

Yes.
Try this: In a shell window, as root, start rpmdrake (which is kind-of
another way to start MandrakeUpdate, but it doesn't do it with the Wizard).
Click on the button to "Reload lists." At the "Sources to update" window
that comes up, select only the FTP site that you've defined for your
security updates - there's no reason to select the disk 1,2,3 sources, and
doing those will just slow you down. When it's done doing the update,
click on the drop-down bar that's a bit below the "Reload lists" button you
clicked earlier. By default, it will say "All". Select "Updates only" and
then below that, click on the tab that says "Flat List" ("Tree view" is the
tab selected when you start). You will then see the list of updates that
are available. Select the ones you want and then click on the
"Install/Remove" button to start the update.
