If you can load the footprint from within PCB, then the footprint is likely fine. Some hints:
1. Check your search paths for footprints. Here are some links discussing this: http://www.geda.seul.org/docs/current/tutorials/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:pcb_tips#how_do_i_add_a_footprint_library_to_pcb 2. Turn on double verbose mode on gsch2pcb with the -vv flag. This will tell you exactly what gsch2pcb is doing as it looks for footprints and creates your .pcb file.
