As expected, the Sparkle update dialog appeared, although I'll note that the changelog page is difficult to read in the narrow dialog box.  You may want to create a plainer page to display for the updater.  Sparkle then downloads the update and gives me an "Install" button.  Once I click the button, it says "An error occurred while installing the update.", which is not terribly descriptive.  Checking Console.app, I find:

3/16/10 10:27:56 AM	X11.bin[31126]	Sparkle Error: An error occurred while installing the update. Please try again later.
3/16/10 10:27:56 AM	X11.bin[31126]	Sparkle Error (continued): Couldn't find an appropriate update in the downloaded package.

I am updating from 2.5.0_beta2 on 10.6.2
