Ah! That was a fault on my part for misunderstanding/misreading the tutorial. My apologies. (and yes, we are using the mib510) Anyway, we eventually reached a solution to the problem, which was slightly odd but it worked, so I'm not complaining. Basically, it turned out to be a problem with the USB to Serial cable that we had been using - we just needed to use another cable to resolve the issue... Thank you to everyone who helped out.
