Sorry for not getting back to you sooner c4tich. I'm assuming you didn't make any progress as you didn't come back with a suitably joyous response

Sounds more like it's something wrong with the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file. Double check that it is formatted correct, and there aren't any missing quotation marks or braces - they are always in matching pairs - one to open and one to close. 

Otherwise, try a simpler version of it with just the network ssid and psk.

Code:

network={
ssid="Wireless Network Name"
psk="network-password"
}

Also, so you get any response'sudo iwconfig'? Does it at least indicate that the wireless module is functioning?

@hawk: Glad you got your wireless up and running, it certainly makes life easier when you can use wifi instead of wired connections!
