*How* did you try to build the module?
Did you try both module-assistant and make-kpkg?

That's a custom kernel, not an official Debian linux-image-*, so the
layout may be different causing some script not to be found in the same
location.

Can you try the official Debian kernel 2.6.32-5?

Do you have this script somewhere in your kernel source tree?

Also retry the build with setting LC_ALL=C first, might be a
localisation issue.
