Yes, there is the problem.

That uboot is using environment variables that tell it to read from specific sectors on the hard disk.

Hello,

Are the uboot environment settings coming from your side? Aren't they? If so, how come that it is working properly on the Pogoplug?
Would you mind providing the right one?

Thanks for your outstanding help.

Help and do not hit hard. In the script, knew how to change the drives but did not understand how to change workarea ????
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
workarea="."
')

[WarheadsSE]

This is supposed to be run from the directory in which you untarred. I said that in the instructions, and VERY CLEARLY did not insist that you need to change that value.

Hello,

Are you sure of the following lines:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 's')etenv dload1 "dload1=diskboot 60500000 0:1"
setenv dload1 "dload2=diskboot 60500000 0:2"

[WarheadsSE]

No. - err sorta

[obaltus]

With your uboot settings, I am getting:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
IDE read: device 0 block # 288, count 1 ... 1 blocks read: OK
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
ERROR: There is a global environment variable with the same name.
Unknown command '60500000' - try 'help' ')

Which seems quite logical because dload1 is defined twice.
