So I had to change the add-on type to 2 in order to enable updates. I found the culprit: Add-On updates are only allowed for add-on types 2 (extension) and 4 (theme) but not for 8 (locale).

I looked at the update.rdf for some of the extensions I use and noticed they don't use the brackets {} if not using a GUID. Once I removed the brackets in the update.rdf file the updated version was detected and the update ran fine. Thanks for the tutorial! Well I spoke too soon.

When I try to find updates for my extension it says no updates were found though my update.rdf is a version higher and everything else appears to comply with the tutorial above. Thanks for any help.
