Had very similar issues, try re-tensioning your z-axis belts per the solidoodle video.

I'll try running it with Slic3r and see if I have different results.
I also have a new version of Skeinforge.

I'll calibrate both and let you know my results.

Are these bumps where the printhead is starting a new 'z' layer by chance ie. stopping and starting the extruder.

I agree with this.

Calibrate your extruder and look into retraction settings after that.

For some reason the edge closest to the rear of my machine has these anomalies all over the surface.  They don't appear on the opposite side.  Any ideas what would cause this?

See attached pics....

Any chance you could circle these so that we can zero out on the exact error?
