This means, that the current working  directory  ( abbreviated with cwd) 
of the server damon sshd does not exist anymore. It was probably 
removed. Did you remove sshd by any chance? If yes, the sshd version 
that was installed might still be running, but it's installation 
directory was removed?

The next idea that I have, is that  the old installation of the sshd is 
still running, but it's cwd was removed and replaced with an  directory 
from the upgrade package.


Did you try to restart the sshd on the server machine?
# service sshd restart

Before you do that, check whether the sshd is installed at all on ther 
server machine:
# rpm -q openssh-server
