Thinkpad HDAPS: Wiki entry not upto date or is it just user...[SOLVED]

I am currently in the process of outfitting my T61 with Arch. However, I have recently run into a snag while dealing with the tp_smapi package and the wiki instructions. I get to the part where the wiki entry says run an invert module parameter if you need to. The ThinkWiki shows that I should use an HDAPS axis orientation of '1' with a T61. So I issue the following command as a superuser and here are the results:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/extra/hdaps.ko invert=1
insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/extra/hdaps.ko': No such file or directory

A quick look in the directory lists two files:
1) thinkpad_ec.ko
2) tp_smapi.ko

At this point I am thinking that maybe the hdaps.ko file changed to tp_smapi.ko and try to run the same insmod command on that just to see the results. The command returns the following:

insmod: error inserting '/lib/modules/2.6.36-ARCH/extra/tp_smapi.ko': -1 File exists

I'm unsure whether that is the file I need to change or not. I'm also unsure of how to insert the new parameter without receiving that '-1 File exists' error.

Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Turned out to be user error while installing the package. Sorry!

Wiki is accurate as far as I can see.  I load the HDAPS module (hdaps.ko) with rc.local, and also start the daemon with rc.local, without any issues.

Are you sure the package was built properly, and installed without any failures as well?
