Hi David, Did this mote ever work? Does 'motelist' recognize the mote? Does it charge?
If programming works for all your motes except this one, then you probably have faulty hardware. If motelist recognizes the mote, then the error is likely between the USB-serial converter chip and the microcontroller (even though if the mote doesn't seem to react at all, maybe there is another problem, too). We had a faulty Tmote Sky (not invent) with a similar behavior. We eventually traced the error back to a broken link on the PCB (probably due to stress). If you have a JTAG kit, you could open the package and try to program the mote inside over JTAG to see whether the MCU still works.
