huh, well, I just started playing with Greasemonkey myself last week to do
something pretty similar.  Some things I noticed right away:

1) the script doesn't have the .user.js suffix on the end.  I think
Greasemonkey and probably userscripts.org expect this.  I would think they
would have a more meaningful error message for this.

So you uploaded it to userscripts.org?  That seems like a painful way to
do development.  Instead, just save the javascript file to your machine
and open with firefox.  There should be a little yellow line on top that
says something like "hello do you want to install this userscript?"  (The
exact words vary a bit).

I installed it in a similar manner after changing the script name to be
atcclinky.user.js.  It does install.  My guess is you'll need to do some
debugging though.  Perhaps a friendly soul might help you out there.

Also, do you have the latest version of GreaseMonkey?
