I must be missing something... are you trying to get a binary working 
that ships with your plugin? You shouldn't have to move it anywhere. I'm 
simply creating a Bin/<platform> sub-folder inside my Plugin hierarchy. 
Then I do something like (inside the Plugin.pm):

my $pluginData = Slim::Utils::PluginManager->dataForPlugin($class);
Slim::Utils::Misc::addFindBinPaths(catdir($pluginData->{basedir}, 'Bin', 
<platform>));

Thereafter you should be able to get the binary:

my $binary = Slim::Utils::Misc::findbin('spotty');
