Talon SR speed control recieving power, not outputting power

On one of our test bench robots for Java, we have a simple robot drive with 4 Talon SR speed controllers. This robot was functioning fine with Labview, but when we switched to Java, the speed controllers stopped functioning. We have tried many different programs, ranging from using the sliders on the Smart Dashboard to a full scale joystick hookup. However, no matter which program we use, we get the same problem. The program builds successfully, but no amount of movement of the sliders or joysticks will control the speed controllers, which sit there mocking us with a solid orange light. We have tried everything, from older versions of Eclipse to re-imaging the roboRio to update the roboRio hardware. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?
