Problems with Digital I/O and Encoder question

I am running RTAI-4.0 and Comedi-0.7.73 on a Fedora Core 5 2.6.17 kernel.  I am
using a National Instruments PCIe-6259 Data Acq. Card and a National Instruments
SC-2345 signal conditioning connector block.  While setting up and testing the
system I have found that I can output a signal through the analog output module
correctly but problems occur when trying to use the Digital I/O modules.  I have
tried various sensors and a waveform generator to send in a signal and in all
cases nothing shows up on the scope in xrtailab.  The status LED is blinking as
if a signal is coming yet nothing shows up.  I have tried running the demo files
in comedilib-0.7.22/demo and all the tests read nothing but zeros even while I
am sending it various signals.  I have also tried sending the signal into a DIO
input and then back out the analog output to an oscilloscope, which read
nothing.  What else should I try to further diagnose the problem?  It seems to
me that there is a communication problem between my card and the module.

On another note, how do you access and use the encoder/time counter module
(SCC-CTR01) through comedi?
