The transfer in question is confirmed as having already been processed and credited to recipient's account as of Fri 13 Jan 2012 07:12:25 PM JST. Please be aware that transfer to 1JcMWSggw3mnFanp81HMeBCtKyFJwJ253S is an intra transfer. When BTC is sent to another Mt.Gox address, the transfer is done instantly and will not appear on the BTC network.
First I should say that the recipient is not me it is the person I bought the board from. So it is his word that the bitcoins did not show up at his address.
You got scammed? Or maybe they just mistakenly gave you their mtgox deposit address instead of a receiving address from their personal wallet.
Well I did receive the board and it works very nicely. The seller is waiting patiently for his missing bitcoins. Not very scam like.

Ahh, ok. I was thinking maybe the seller intentionally used a mtgox address knowing that you were going to pay from mtgox, so that he could point to the blockchain and demand that you pay him a second time.
He needs to check on that address that he told you to pay to. If that is his deposit address at mtgox, he should see the transfer there already. If he accidentally gave you someone else's mtgox deposit address, he needs to figure out who that someone else is, and ask them nicely if they could forward the misdirected payment back to him.
I'm thinking that mtgox won't tell you anything about the account that has that address, but if you ask them very nicely, they may be able to confirm if the account info matches the other information you know about the seller. Or maybe they can contact the account holder for you.
