I assure you that the ICD2 firmware thinks the processor is NOT enabled
for debugging. I don't know WHERE your problem lies, but thats the exact
error I get when I have not set MPLAB up properly. To use the ICD2 in
debug mode, be sure to set the programmer to NONE.

To debug it, try asking PICLIST as if it was NOT a clone, and see what
happens. The clone hardware is pretty trivial, really: its the ICD2
firmware that makes it work... Besides, Olimex makes pretty good stuff.
