The auto-upgrade feature of buildout only works if the buildout script
being run is in the buildout's bin directory. This is a safety feature
to avoid unintentional upgrades of other buildouts.

If you installed buildout with easy_install and want to upgrade it, I
suggest upgrading it with easy_install.
