Adding Robostix software to Verdex build

1) Built standard image, using 'bitbake gumstix-basic-image' as documented. No problems.
2) Installed image, tested, everything fine - except the Roboaudiostix cased hardware failures; modified the bootup environment, as documented and the system started up. We used a 'tweener', modified as documented, to connect.
3) Used ipkg to install the Robostix pieces. There was a fatal error with the Robostix module - although ipkg claimed success with installing, it also said that there was no Robostix module!
4) Enabled Robostix support in the standard configuration files, as per the documentation in the files.
5) 'bitbake gumstix-basic-image' succeeded, but nothing for Robostix was added. No errors, no messages.
6) 'bitbake robostix-module' reported 'no such file' for one site, 'access denied' for another and then just hung doing an 'svn' to a third site. (Unfortunately, I'm (literally) miles away from the system, so I can't report on the URLs involved, until later today (PST)). When I say 'hung' I mean that there was no response for more than a day.

Can I get some help on getting the Robostix module installed? We've purchased several of these for a project that needs the audio support the Roboaudiostix provide, and have had no luck so far in being able to use the boards with the gumstix board.
