Sorry I meant I have no way to test the answer to determine if it is correct. I should probably delete my question since it is old.

You forgot to censor you password and nothing looks wrong with this console output. Are you sure it isn't just working?

I'm not sure if it is working. From my research this doesn't look like correct output, but I'm not sure. I gave up trying to get this to work.

you're using api2.bitcoincz.com:8332 but that's not listed on the pool's site:

Run your own GPU/FPGA/ASIC miner with the worker credentials you gave earlier, and connect it to following URL:

<http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332>
(Main pool URL)

or
stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
(If you have Stratum-compatible miner)
