Well, I've figured it out. Bethesda goofed! The shortsword is excatly where the strategy guide says it is, in the southwest corner of the Odai Plateau area, near a cluster of boulders.. which is all well and good, except for one LITTLE problem.
Its two feet underground.
Yep, thats right, they placed an item there for players to find, only its under the ground so no players can ever get to it. I figured this out when I opened up the ESM in the construction kit to see what was the matter.. I wonder why the strategy guide says its there when the master file has it mispositioned. My guess is that they made the strategy guide using the construction kit and never bothered to check the actual GAME to see if it was placed properly.
Blah, sloppy. Oh well, the esay fix was to create a plugin which had the sword moved up, so that the hilt was sticking out of the ground, much like the Sword in the Stone. Worked great, and I recommend to anyone being driven crazy trying to find this 10,000 gold sword to do the same.
Tsk tsk, Bethesda, you better come up with a patch =p
