Okay, I overwrote the 1.1 version with 1.2.3 per instructions, deleted the old themes. Acitvated the plugin and received a Fatal Error message. Is there any way that my original problem (see above) is WPMU related?
Have you upgraded your wordpress Mu to wpmu 2.9.2 or you are using the old version of wpmu below 2.9.
For now, you can simply rename wp-content/buddypress and you will be able to access the wp-admin. Let us know about your current configuration in details as mentioned here

What am I supposed to do if I gain access to wp-admin?
Thanks!
I renamed the wp-contents/plugins/buddypress and still no access to wp-admin
Rename wp-contents/plugins to disable all plugins
Okay, so now I am at the site dashboard…what next? Rename the plugins file? Create a new one?
I have the home blog recovered, but there are still several blogs that are inaccessible.
