That means that there were no jump beacons found. Sorry.
AFAIK, some RRF ships *should* spawn with jump beacons (in AP). Not many... but one or two. So wait a while and try again. If you still do not find jump beacons after a couple of game days, then there could be something wrong with your RRF jobs.
Here is an update that clarifies the message if no ships are found:

OK, that's progress, at least. 
I cannot reproduce your report. I find two ships with jump beacons in my universe. If I add a jump beacon to a big ship then I see three. Which is the way it should work.
I do not know why you would have trouble in your game.
Can you open the script in the Script Editor and check that the ware for the jump beacon is correct? To be sure, you might select it and change it to jump beacon. Then save the script and try again.

There must be something different about your TWareT file. (Or mine, perhaps).
Anyway, I am glad it is working!
@everyone: Please let me know if you have anymore troubles with this (any) script.
Thanks for your help.

Improved Boarding (Bullwinkle's Hacked Version)
Hi
There seem to be a error in the T-File for the "Improved Boarding (Bullwinkle's Hacked Version)" in the German version(the one whit the id 49). Not sure what it is (i think the syntax is somewhere wrong in the german t file) but i used the English T file of it and changed the id from 44 to 49 to fix it on my Installation.
Otherwise i would have had Readerror lines, altough it isn´t that bad till u try boarding something and it only says read error ...

Thank you for the report, Namyboy.
I will try to see if I can fix it (although I do not read much German).

That is a nice collection of scripts, Kakurate. 
Be sure to look for the Upgrade Kit at Terracorp HQ. XRM apparently has a Jumpdrive Deployment Kit which is different.
When you say that you installed with the "package installer", do you mean the Plugin Manager? The PM is required. Also, you must close the PM and wait a couple of seconds before starting the game.
It sounds as though you are doing things correctly. You might look through a similar discussion with Nicoman a few pages back.
If that does not help, then please post a screenshot of your trade window at Terracorp HQ.

I don't suppose the Upgrade Kit appears if you scroll down?
Check Getus Fune. If everything is working correctly, then the Upgrade Kit Forge there should be producing Upgrade Kits. Note that the name of the Forge changes periodically, but it is easy to find.

Hi DrBullwinkle,
I'm having a slight problem with two of your scripts together. I'm running, among other things, your modified Improved Boarding and Upgrade Kits scripts. When I have both going, the boarding transporter device is unavailable and I have a placeholder ware with no information and a 28 credit price tag. If I remove the Upgrade Kits script, the transporter is available and at the right 48m price. The transporter also becomes available if I replace the modified Improved Board script with the original by Cycrow.
I'd love to have your 'hacked' version of the boarding script. Is there anything I can do to patch things up?
Here is a screen cap of my plugin manager showing everything I have going, in case that helps.
Thanks for your time and your awesome work.
Cheers,
