More testing...
Turns out I get differences from one attempt to the next, even with no change in configuration. This somewhat makes sense as

cgminer -n
was giving me TIMEOUT errors. As things stand now, I have about a 1 in 3 chance that any given attempt to run will work. If it fails, un-associating the Gekko and re-associating it to the VM has about a 50% chance to make it work again.I'm going to chalk this up to timing sensitivity in the Gekko or the driver, combined with latency between the virtual machine and physical device. Hope it won't be an issue when I move to a Rpi instead of the VM.
Thanks for the help. I'm up and running at roughly 14 Gh/s at the moment.
