Aykut,

After updating the point geometry in your in-memory
feature, you need to push it back to the datastore to
save it.   Try adding something like:

  lyr.SetFeature( ftr )

after the SetPoint() call.

In place update of geometries in a shapefile is
relatively new and I only recently added test scripts
checking the capability.  Make sure you are using
at least GDAL/OGR 1.3.1.

Best regards,
