An easier way to see if the data from the Kinect is being received by the drivers and computer is with the command rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color, which should display an RGB image from the Kinect camera if the driver is functioning properly. Remember to have roscore and the driver running in the background. More information is on the openni_launch page.
