According to the wiki, rgbdslam is made for fuerte, not indigo, that is probably why rgbdslam isn't working. You can try looking into OpenCV and applying it for your setup. My advice would be to write a vision node dealing with information from your kinect, then have that vision node publish data to your navigation node, but keep researching, maybe somebody will have a better idea.
