it is more than likely the notifications you are seeing from Skype are not from growl. Skype sends its own notifications if growl isn't available, so to turn them off you have to do so in skype's own preferences.
a number of applications, including Skype do not work with the new version of growl for various reasons. one way of potentially working around this is to update the framework within the app bundles. to do this, you can get Growl Version Detective from http://growl.info/downloads when you run that app, there are two tabs. the first detects growl running on your system, and is able to clean outsold versions of growl if they are present. the second tab looks at applications installed on your system, and checks what framework version they are running. go to this tab and select Skype, then hit the 'upgrade' button. once that's done Skype should be able to talk to growl again; go into skype's preferences, and in the notifications tab make sure growl is selected instead of built-in. you should be able to use GVD similarly to upgrade the frameworks in other apps as well, and with a bit of luck those will start working again too. let us know how you get on!
