Unfortunately 2.3 did not work, but I did get the 2.5.4 update working eventually. For anyone who stumbles across this thread here is the solution I used.

Update was failing due to incorrect md5sum on the file framework.mario.conf so used the usb network hack to ssh in and view the file. It turns out that the file was never reverted back to the original format when I uninstalled the screensaver hack. This is a known issue with version 0.3. So I copied the current mario.conf file over to /mnt/us and edited it to point to the correct location, which should be /opt/amazon/screen_saver not /mnt/us/screen_saver once this was done I renamed the file framework.mario.conf.orig and then transfered the 0.3 screen saver hack uninstall bin to the kindle. After running the update the correct location was being referenced in the file so the update now worked fine.

Thanks for the help everyone!
