Thanks, I've only ever compiled the kernel on debian-based systems.
make-kpkg abstracts these details away, and it totally slipped my mind.
Things are going spiffily now.
Thanks again,
Ian

Okay, I solved my own problem (well, I had help from a genius).
Turns out UNIX sockets needed to be compiled into the guest kernel, not
as a module.
Which brings up another question. When I first booted the uml-guest I
got a modules.dep does not exist error. The recommendation I read for
dealing with this was to touch modules.dep, which certainly did get rid
of the errors.
However, is this problem indicative of further problems I'm going to be
having with modules? Do I need to compile everything I need into the
kernel? What's the best course of action here?
Installed modules in the guest? In short
*) loopmount root_fs
*) make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=<rootfs_mount_point>
*) ever compiled kernel on the host? Read kernel HOWTO for an introduction if
you didn't.
If you installed them, then depmod -a inside the guest should be the solution,
but it's already done by the modules install.
