(please remember to cc the mailing list) Well, things don't typically stop working unless someone changed something. Chances are that they did something to their system that created the side effects you are currently experiencing. You should encourage them to try reintegrating a newer version of SM into their admin panel. They could probably ask for help here if they need it.
Contrary to what they are telling you, you can upgrade your SM without telnet access... you can download a tarball of the current stable release, unpack it on your own computer, make any configuration settings that you need (check the contents of the config/config.php for the current installation and you can copy most values from there), FTP in and make backup copies of the current installation and then upload the new installation. There's probably some other fussing you'll have to do, but for the most part, since SM does not require compilation and any installation procedures beside the placement of files, this should work. Er, that is, the one big problem you might run into if you attempt to replace your data directory is permissions problems (depending on whether or not you can change ownership or permissions via FTP, which I doubt)... so leave the data directory AS IS, and manually replace the other directories for your best bet. I think. Not making any guarantees.
