I think I have a bulletproof solution for those of you who downloaded Beyond The Sword from Direct2Drive.
I was having the same problems of patching my Direct2Drive version of BTS. I could not use the auto update feature on the game and I was not able to get any downloaded patches to work. I finally went back to http://www.direct2drive.com/.
I logged in with the same account I used to download the game. I clicked on the "patches" link in the left column. A list of patch releases appeared on my screen. I clicked on the 8/10/2007 link with the BTS version 3.03 patch. The download manager software I installed to download the game started up and gave me the option to download the patch. I clicked on it. It downloaded the patch. I clicked on the "play" button and then it installed the patch. Now when I check for updates through the auto update feature, it tells that there are no updates needed. Success!
I hope this solves all your problems. For future reference, go back to the Direct2Drive website for all patch releases. It the only option we have for downloading the patch. Please spread the word. Have a good day.
