I can get more accurate info from one of my Server guys that deals with this
daily, but I know there is an issue where you have to deploy it at the
console if you want it to work correctly.  We are still cleaning up lots and
lots of updaterui.exe processes that have somehow attached themselves to
users and their profiles.  Even a call to McAfee returned no help in
determining where this thing is attaching itself to them. 

I believe it is a problem with ePO itself, the regular updates all seem to
work fine for everything else, ePO updates are turned off for our Citrix
farm.

Tried EPO, didnt like it, was far too big and enterprisey for us (~20
users), went down to the Protection Pilot program, which is just a prettier
version as far as I can see, and uses the same client to monitor.

We had a couple of minor problems, on my "test" (speechmarks as it was also
a production one but loaded so users didnt go on it :) ) server, the updates
wouldnt always run. On another server, there were often a lot of error
messages about the updater program on the console, the updates worked, just
that it seemed to crash a bit..

Of course this was the two weeks before we dumped those servers and got a
bigger meaner 2003 MPS3 one, but I've not got round to putting PP back on
yet!

Probably not helpful in the slightest, but thats my experience of it :)
