Adam:

OK, let's check if the XS has the serial numbers, what is the output of 
/usr/bin/xs-list-registration? If that shows as correct the XOs timed
out like in ticket 11056. Can you use the "register again" option from
the home view? If that option is not available you'll have to manually
add schoolserver.providence.uwimona.edu.jm to network-control-panel's
server field and you should be good to go.

EG. directory /library/users/SHC03801C18 on XS is just 1 of many examples of an XO-1.5 "incompletely" registering -- all similar directories contain:
