Problem running follower demo turtlebot

edit

I've just received a turtlebot and I'm having some trouble when I try to run the follower demo in the netbook that came along with the robot. The robot doesn't move when I run the command: $ roslaunch turtlebot_follower follower.launch

The output is:

[ INFO] [1405090576.551327448]: Number devices connected: 1
[ INFO] [1405090576.551600322]: 1. device on bus 003:24 is a SensorV2 (2ae) from PrimeSense (45e) with serial id '0000000000000000'

I think it should have shown 2 devices connected (kinect and kobuki base). I tried disconnecting each one of them and running the code again and I discovered that the problem is that it is only considering the kinect as a connected device. Do I need to do anything else than connecting the provided usb cable between the base and the netbook? Using the command $lsusb it looks like the usb port is working properly.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: Thanks for the answer Devon, I've tried what you suggested but unfortunately it didn't work. I didn't find the topic cmd_vel, so I used the other command you suggest and the output was:

$ rostopic list | grep cmd_vel
/cmd_vel_mux/active, 
/cmd_vel_mux/input/navi, 
/cmd_vel_mux/input/safety_controller
/cmd_vel_mux/input/teleop
/cmd_vel_mux/parameter_descriptions
/cmd_vel_mux/parameter_updates
/follower_velocity_smoother/raw_cmd_vel

I assumed the topic I would like to verify is the last one. So I ran the follower application again while monitoring the topic, and I could check that it's not sending any velocity commands (assuming the topic I chose is the right one). The output was a bunch of:

linear: 
  x: 0.0
  y: 0.0
  z: 0.0
angular: 
  x: 0.0
  y: 0.0
  z: 0.0
