tl;dr:
When printing a layer, the extruder moves imperceptibly, if it moves
at all. However, the extruder backs up quickly, then moves back down
quickly when it's travelling. Also, during warm-up, the extruder does
push what seems like a normal amount of plastic. The control panel
also seems to be able to drive the extruder as expected.

Cupcake with 5G shield and Pololu drivers for XYZ and A for the
extruder.
Using the Mk6+ NEMA17 high torque stepper.
ReplicatorG 29
Skeinforge 40
Driver and profile:
3G 5D Cupcake (Pololu XYZ, Mk5/6+ Pololu Extruder)
3G 5D Dimension v2 profile
I've upgraded:
* Extruder controller to v3.0 (w/relay for stepper extruders)
* Motherboard to the 3G 5D shield FW v3.1.
(followed the 3G 5D shield instructions at both wiki.makerbot.com and
thingiverse, installed the provided machine xml and profiles from
there).
---
Any advice? What specific information can I provide to help
troubleshoot?
Regards,

I had the same problem at first. If you have the same problem I did
the A axis is incorrectly defined. Do you have any gear reduction on
your filament drive or is it a direct drive?
The supplied machine.xml is for the direct drive version if you have
another setup then you need adjust the scale in your machine file. I
use a printable stepper upgrade (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:
5795) this gives me a gear ratio of 51:7 so you need to multiply your
A axis scale by 51/7 which is ~7.2857:1.
I just want to qualify the above by saying that this is what worked
for me. If you know better way to fix this problem please chime in.
For example the direct drive machine uses this definition.

Are you printing something really small and do you have cool on?

The Filament Diameter in Dimension is in mm.
The Packing Sensity is a fraction. So, go 85%, enter .85. It should
(roughly) be between .85 and 1.0.

Thank you all for the feedback.
* Direct drive - using the gear that was on the DC motor.
* Mostly printing the calibration cube - but tried the coat hook too
(not small) http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:49
* Using the unmodified "3G 5D (Dimension) Example v2" profile
** Cool is on...but again, these are large layers that would take
longer than 10 seconds to print, right?
* Filament diameter in that profile is currently 1.741mm (I'm using
3mm filament, 2.85mm measured)
** I have entered the measured diameter in Print-o-matic, does that
override the profile?
* Packing density is 0.96
* I have also duplicated the original profile, changing the Filament
diameter to 2.85mm
** Multiply was on in the original profile (2x4), and I've turned it
off in this one
* Changed the packing density to 0.85
Here is the machine information:

The above gcode is indeed extruding the layers, though the base infill
seemed really thick (the toolhead smudged through it).

The coat hook printed well - using the above settings.
The skirt has fused to the base layers, though - what is a good offset
distance for that?

Using Print-O-Matic results in unusually small E commands. Is Print-O-
Matic compatible with the Dimension plugin?

Print-O-Matic, when switched to Skeinforge 44, will work. Note that
the packing density setting is in percent and not a fraction.
the packing density setting is in percent and not a fraction.
Also note that, as it currently stands, PoM is completely decoupled
from the profile. Settings set in PoM override the profile, but
changes in the profile will not be loaded back into PoM.

Do you mean if I select SF44 as the "Gcode Generator" then Print-O-
Matic will work, or is this an upcoming change I should wait for?
Again, thank you for the help.

In recent versions of RepG, I think since SF44 was added, yes.

To wrap up this thread, I suppose the issue is attributable to user
error...I didn't realize that I could not use Print-o-matic with
Dimension when using Skeinforge 40.
Print-o-matic with Skeinforge 44 and Rob's Dimension profile is
working for me now.
Thanks again.
