I transferred some bitcoins from mt gox to the client on my machine.  The balance received remains zero I have doublechecked the address.  My bitcoin client has connections and I was able to find the completed transaction on block explorer.

Are there any other steps I need to take.

I was really excited about trading bitcoins.  this is putting a damper on the experience.

Edit.  I just found something on block explorer the transaction is listed as "not yet redeemed".  is there a way to redeem them manually?
