I'm in the same boat - I can't even setup my blog because flickr's telling me it can't find the MTCGI directory. I've fed it the correct location and all.
Were you able to solve your posting prob eventually?

The URL that it posts to should be configurable anyway. This way, you're asking for only a part of the data you need. And since you're asking the user to fill in that field, you may as well ask for the entire url, allowing for much greater compatibility with web setups. A lot of people don't even use the cgi-bin dir for their movabletype.

Oh, also you can just use 'MetaWeblogAPI-enabled blog' and use 'http://youraddress.org/cgi-bin/mt-xmlrpc.cgi' as the endpoint.

When Following Marco's suggestion above I would still get the same error that username and password were not correct. I have been pulling my hair out. Hopfully if you are reading this I can prevent that for you!
My problem was that I had installed MT 3.2! This "new feature" explination comes straight from the Sixapart website:
XML-RPC and Atom client setup
For those of you who use an external blogging client or anything that uses Movable Type's XML-RPC or Atom APIs, you have to do one more step (detailed in the entry "Getting started with MT 3.2") after upgrading to get your clients working again:
1. Log into MT
2. Click on your username in the top navbar to go to your profile
3. Scroll down to the bottom where you see "API Password"
4. Input the password of your choice and save. For security reasons, it should be different from your normal password
5. Use that password in your client software
Voila! The MetaWeblogAPI-enabled blog works!

I'm still having problems with this, despite having followed all possible solutions; if I attempt to add my blog as an MT one I get: "The MT CGI URL you entered was not correct". The path I'm using is:
MYWEBADDRESS/cgi-bin/mt/ (permissions set to 755, transfer type is correct)
if I attempt Chilean's solution, I get the error "The endpoint you entered was not correct".The path I am using is
MYWEBADDRESS/cgi-bin/mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi (permissions set to 755, transfer type is correct)
I should add that I'm getting the dreaded "Premature end of script headers" in my error log, but can't see why. (Update: solved this bit)
If anyone has any bright ideas, I'd love to hear them. Thx.

Okay, so I solved the 'Premature end...' issue by deleting the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file, downloading the full (not upgrade) version of MT3.2 and reuploading the mt-xmlrpc.cgi file. I then used Chilean's solution for the MetaWeblogAPI and managed to set up my blog.
However the test post returns an error:
"A test post to mysite failed. Maybe your username and password were wrong?"
I've tried with my MT login and the MT API login passwords.

That is the single reason for your trouble. It means that the script exited before it was supposed to exit. The problem can have multiple causes, but this is what you need to fix before it can work.

Marco - I've solved this bit, and have managed to set up my weblog both as an MT and MetaWeblogAPI. The issue now is the test post error.

I've trawled through the MT support forum, and it appears that I'm not the only one having this problem.
A patch for the errant XMLRPCServer.pm appears to be available for paying Six Apart customers, but we freeloaders will have to wait..

Alrighty. I've got the MetaWeblogAPI version running with a different version of the XMLRPCServer.pm file. I still got the incorrect password error a couple of times, but after deleting all of the test-MT blogs on Flickr, leaving just the MetaWeblogAPI one, it posted successfully.
People may find the link to the .pm file in this post on the MT forum useful.
Good luck!
