mine looks like this:
#!/bin/sh -e
trap exit SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
#MODE=`/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --get-rd-mode`
#if [ x$MODE = xenabled ]
#then
# echo "Root shell enabled"
/bin/sh
#else
# echo "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device"
#fi
#
MODE=`/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --get-rd-mode`
you could also mdify the sudoers file to enable a "true root shell" with a simple edit. check out the maemo.org wiki for the details.

honestly, I haven't done anything, this is basically an out of the box setup, except a few applications: gaim,xterm,etc... I havent attempted to get root or done anything in that direction exctp type sudo gainroot, and I got that output. I'm confused,

Well, if R&D mode is disabled, `sudo gainroot' will not do anything useful.
It should output "Enable RD mode if you want to break your device" rather than that error, though.

Hah, are you kidding around, or does it really give that output... Now I'm getting worried that I'm getting some strange error.

I'd guess the error's coming from cal-tool.
"cal_read_block(r&d_mode): size zero, block not found?"
