Thanks for the reply. I tried these directions, but I'm still getting 
the same error message.

I rechecked the vendor/model ID I compiled in. I tried to follow the 
format in place, but I'm not sure if I got it right. In one place I 
added the following:

#define SMTH3050_VENDOR_ID1 0x000000f0
#define SMTH3050_MODEL_ID1  0x0001ffff

Later on I added this:

(dir.vendor_id == SMTH3050_VENDOR_ID1) ||

Do those look right formatting-wise? Is there anything I'm 
missing/doing wrong/should be aware of?

Thanks again for any help you can provide.
