Hey, have had the same issue and thought I'd share my experience.

I sold my btc on MtGox a few weeks back and attempted to do a withdrawal. Admittedly wasn't as patient as you, but after a week when the money hadn't arrived, I emailed them instructing them to cancel the transfer. With the funds back in my account, I bought btc again, and promptly transferred them to Bitstamp.

They arrived at Bitstamp in a matter of minutes, I then sold them and initiated a bank withdrawal. I'm waiting to receive the funds (I started the transfer about 24 hours ago) but am a lot more confident that I'll receive them - touch wood.

A couple of downsides to this method:

- The price on btc increased between when I sold them on Gox, tried to transfer, then bought them back. So I lost about 2 btc in the process for no good reason (Not a huge amount, but not insignificant for me...)
- The price of btc on Bitstamp isn't as high as Gox.

I have to say though, from a usability and aesthetic point of view, Bitstamp is a vastly superior experience to Gox. Here's hoping their service lives up to it!
