You swapped the wires on the cables at the roboRio and at the PCM on the cable back to the Jaguar? You wouldn't have needed to change anything on the cable between the PCM and PDP.

See Omar's diagram. I definitely think that's what has happened. It happened to us at least twice during alpha/beta. This can happen becuase the Jaguars will pass the signal through even if they aren't able to communicate on the bus.
