That looks like what you need to do. Debugging needs to be through the USB JTAG FET. Unfortunately those sources aren't open source so not sure of the support level.
I know there is active work being done but not sure how to connect with it. try googling for msp430-gdb or msp430-gcc toolchain. I think Chris Lecthi is involved. There maybe something pointing in the right direction at the mspgcc mailing list.
