Hello Chris,
Thank you for the very prompt answer.

As for the u-boot question, chances are your connex already has u-boot 1.2.0 on it, so there is really no reason to upgrade it. You can check it by running 'cat /proc/mtd' on your gumstix -- if you see 3 partitions listed (mtd0, mtd1, and mtd2) then you shouldn't need to reflash u-boot. If you only have 2 partitions then you'll need to update u-boot, but that cannot be done via ssh (well... you can replace u-boot via ssh, but not upgrade it).
Unfortunately, I can only see:
# cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "Bootloader"
mtd1: 00fc0000 00020000 "RootFS"
But as I understand from your e-mail, I can't do anything from now on, without a serial connection.
If you follow the instructions at http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Developer-how-to-s/Reflashing-from-a-linux-login-session/111.html you won't need to pad your filesystem image since you'll be using flash_eraseall, which makes it so you don't need a padded image.
Thanx again! Your comments were very helpful...
Chris
