There are four wires at the rear that need to be hard wired.

RED: PERMANENT live, live whether key is even in ign.
ORANGE: Switched live, live on IGN second click only, ie: when all warning lights on dash come on.
WHITE: lighting, should be live when sidelights are on.
BLACK: decent earth. Mine goes back to battery.

Now if the gauges light up and do their sweep, it would appear that your wiring is OK.

What about the senders? All plugged into the correct ports at the rear of the control box? All daisy chained correctly FROM control box and to each other?

That's how it should be. On the rear of the control box are two outelts, do you have the daisy chain wire to the first gauge in the correct one? It depends on what gauges....

The BF gauges go into output 2 while the standard white faced gauges go into output 1.

See here, pages 8 and 27 on the pdf: http://www.defi-shop.com/media/dlink.pdf
