I opened a ticket with my support and will post how I was able to fix it if I am able to
There are a few addons that do not have an upload folder so the addon XML file gets copied to the forum root as well. There are also some addons that do have an upload folder, but place their XML file inside the upload folder for some reason. 
I end up having to delete them manually. Do you think it's a good idea to filter out XML files with an "addon-" prefix?

Here is what support told me:
If I remember right, I think that I tried SuPHP before and it wouldn't cache correctly with like Taigachat or another add on... Thoughts?
I make a strict point of not providing advice on server issues.
I know that SuPHP is a solution, but I can't tell you that it is the right solution or comment on its impact on security or other add-ons.
Yeah, it should work, but it's up to you and your host to work out whether it's right for your needs.
Sorry for being so vague

I contacted my host and they said they did what they needed but i'm still getting an error. Is there anything else to do besides chmoding the file.

Same error I believe. They chmoded the file to 777
Code:
mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied

That folder is the temporary location where the zip file is extracted to.
Once it's extracted and it knows the file structure, it can begin copying those files to the correct place. Before it copies those files, it needs to create the directory.
So if it needs to copy the contents of library/SomeAddOn it would have to check to see if that directory exists first and if it doesn't then it would create the directory called SomeAddOn in the library directory. Then in there it would create other directories the add on needs.
It's failing at creating directories. Add ons usually create files in the js, library and styles directories.

I was going to say all, but it would seem I've succeed to update some. Actually it's kind of unpredictable/unreliable. The first time I've installed this add-on, I've updated a lot at once, thinking all was good, and just after some times, the list would contains the same updates, then noticed after the cache rebuild, the add-on version were still the same. Not sure if really installed and version not changed, or updating failed, never seen errors. Since then I've installed manually. Though I've tried randomly few hours ago to update some addons and surprisely this time it was working. But few minutes ago, I've tried to update some add-ons and was not working. Just weird.
Anyway, there is no point to try to remember what I've done or such, so let's assume updating works, and I can give some failed one I've tried few minutes ago :
- Xentag 1.63 -> 1.63b (surprisely, 1.6.2 -> 1.63 has worked, but not 1.6.3 -> 1.6.3b)
- Widget Framework 2.1.1 -> 2.2
- Tag Me 1.7 -> 1.71
I could add more, but most of them have been updated manually.
For these ones, version_string are corrects, so don't understand why sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Tell me if you need more details.
