OK starting to pull my hair out now.

I have downloaded the r8 prebaked rom and followed about 3 different how to's but still can't get it to install.

On linux I have run the install-linux.sh and just get the following:

:~ ./install-linux.sh

Waiting for device... ensure USB Debugging is enabled in Settings-Applications-Development and connect to PC...

I have tried this as a normal user and as root

In windows I have installed the nvidia drivers but when I try to update the drives to the ones included in the download, windows simply tells me that there are no suitable drivers available in the folder. I have tried this on a real XP machine (my wifes) and several virtual machines (so I can start from scratch)

I have no idea what I am doing wrong - someone please help

For Windows, did you follow YAUDIG[XP][VISTA][7] – USB driver guides, Yet Another USB Driver Install Guide

For Linux, did you read [Tutorial] ADB on (X)ubuntu

I take it you HAVE turned on USB debugging on the Vega itself as suggested in the above message?

Have you unzipped the drivers? I didn't and the folder appeared empty.

You may need to start the adb server as root.

Every now and then, I'll get insufficient permissions due to the server not being initialised as root.

Just :

./adb-linux kill-server

sudo $PWD/adb-linux start-server

See if that works
