Data Acquisition Toolbox does not detect USB-6351

I am using Matlab R2011b with ver 3.0 of the DAQ toolbox. Window 7, NI-DAQmx 9.5.1 installed.
I am trying to follow the 'Getting Started' tutorial that is installed with my version of the DAQ toolbox, however as usual Matlab documentation is bullshit.
daq.getDevices() says that no dives exist, however daq.getVendors correctly identifies my nidaq drivers. I tired the legacy method as well, and using analoginput('nidaq',Dev1'); says that my device ID is invalid. daqhwinfo('nidaq') returns an empty struct.
The toolbox documentation says that my version should provide session and legacy interfaces for this hardware, but neither of them work.
I am running Matlab as administrator.
What do I do to get the DAQ toolbox to detect my hardware?

I forgot to say that windows and the NI software detect the hardware correctly.
Are you using the 32 bit version of Windows 7, or the 64 bit version?
Can you paste the output of daq.getVendors and daq.getDevices?
I am having the same problem as this with a USB-6210 did you ever find a solution?
