Hi. I just solved the problem. Thanks for your help.

The problem was the USB cable from the RPi to the AUC2. We were using a brand new cable that came with those tiny cell-battery chargers that are given away at most trade shows.

I had brought the entire system to work and my IT guessed that to be the problem after researching for an hour or so. I kept thinking that it was a bad AUC2.

He plugged in the new cable and it started to mine!

Thanks.
