Could you try increasing the timeout by specifying something like -t 5?
If that doesn't work, try this patch:

--- channel.c	2003-10-17 01:12:55.000000000 -0400
+++ foo.c	2003-10-17 04:07:17.000000000 -0400

 	if(serial_getpacket(&p,TIMEOUT_SHORT)<0) {
 		verb("Didn't get expected status message\n");
-		return -1;
 	}
 	return 0;
 }

If still no luck, could you send me the output from the Python
channel-changing script?
