You seem to have the same problem as us. We weren't even sure if the code we were downloading, SimpleRobot, was even running even though it said it downloaded. However, I think I finally figured out how this system works. If you are downloading the code to ram, then make sure that there is no currently deployed code by undeploying in the first menu. What lead me to this conclusion is that after figuring out how to enable target console, whenever I tried to download and run a program in ram, it said Default code already running or something like that. After undeploying, I no longer got that error and my printf's in the constructor said something. Yay! so try seeing if it's running first of all. Only today did I finally get some code running (printf's) and figuring out exactly how it executes code in Autonomous and Operator how the watchdog works.. I've yet to figure out how to do digital io's, motors, dashboard, and if possible driver station lcd. What I've learned though, if it's not working, restart the cRio. It's hard to say technically what's the problem but the console output can usually give a lead on problems.
Anyways This is my modified version of the SimpleRobot just to see if anything is running. Open up the target console(make sure Console Out dipswitch is on and default settings for the target console should work) by right clicking on the vxworks>target tools. After building and downloading the program, you should see the printfs when the program starts and when the operator/autonomous switch is toggled.

Your code should download quickly; it is transferring through FTP just a .out file.
