Thumbs down CMUCam not working

I've read every thread in this forum about the camera setup, yet still haven't been able to get it working. I have the backup battery fully charged and connected to the RC, a red/white/black wire going from PWM5 on the RC to the power input on the camera, and the output connected to the TTL serial port on the RC. When powered on, only one of the three LEDs (the Power LED) lights up.

I tried connecting it to our computer to use the GUI to configure it (via black 'Programming' cable into the serial port on the camera board, [note: the TTL cable to the RC is disconnected] but it keeps returning the string:
"Searching for camera...
>rs< failed..."

Please help. I've wasted 3 weeks trying to get this piece of crap to work, and at this point I feel that my effort could be better used to work on a more important part of the robot, but our instructor insists on getting it working. =\

P.S. Here's some pictures I made in Paint to help you visualize how I have it set up.
