- you need to have file extensions showing when you rename the file, otherwise you effectively name the file update.zip.zip and that's what causes the error mentioned above. When extensions aren't on, it assumes that anything you type in for the file name should go before the extension. Both Windows and OSX have options for this in Explorer and Finder respectively.

or
- Re-download the file and try the entire sequence again...and as above, make sure you unmount before disconnecting the USB cable
Power-cycle the Droid before starting the application of the update in either case
No certainty any of this will help, just standard troubleshooting steps.

2.0.1 forced update:
THESE ARE USA VZ ACTIVATED PHONES
download: https://android.clients.google.com/updates/voles/signed-voles-ESD56-from-ESD20.84263456.zip
Rename to update.zip
Copy to you SD card as "update.zip". Check your windows options, it if appears as just "update" get into windows and fix this.
Power off y0ur DROID, top key, hold it down and then select the menu option to turn it off.
Wait a bit for it to actually power off.
Open the physicial keyboard.
Power back on with this: hold the the X key on the keypad and THEN, OR at the same TIME, next hold the power button (top right button).
When you see a "/!\" symbol, press and hold first vol+, and then hold down the camera button.
Keep holding it down for a bit... maybe 15-20 seconds IIRC...
Alternative, there's reports that you have to do it fast, or do it at the same time.
We simply, and calmly did the vol+, and the did the camera button... 2 seconds or less in the process?
Once the menu shows....
Use the dpad to select the SD UPDATE.ZIP
Wait until the progress bar goes all the way.
When it's done hit the Dpad button, up top it says to hit it to reboot now.
Enjoy the new lockscreen and 2.0.1 goodness after reboot!
