    I was trying to upgrade form 2.02 to 2.1. I renamed my existing system directory (called admin) to admin-old, and renamed my themes directory to themes-old. Then uploaded the new files. I replaced the index.php file, config.php and database.php files with my existing ones, and also placed my admin.php file in the root directory.

    When I try to hit the site I get the following error:

    Your system folder path does not appear to be set correctly. 
    Please open the following file and correct this: admin.php

    If I open admin.php it contains the correct $system_path path to my system folder however.

    Any other gotcha’s I’m missing?

    So you are masking the access to your CP? This is a renamed copy of the new index.php, yes? My suggestion would be to make a full backup of your files then proceed as per the instructions.
