Glad you got it figured out. :)
I did. Only then did I realize that momentary switches only work as latching switches with the right driver board, and Tim is out of stock on all of the illuminated ring latching switches.
D'oh! and sigh...
You can still use the switch you have if you add one of these to the circuit:

Here's what I figured out on the illuminated momentary switch and the Buckpuck, however, being a neophyte, I'm not entirely sure how to incorporate the Pololu board. I'm not sure which of the connectors on the board are superfluous or if I have to use all of them.

Okay, I can't draw up an exact diagram, but here's one that was posted over at FX-Sabers.coms' forums: http://mandysbabies.com/pololuboard/pololuboardpuck.jpg
Credit for the diagram goes to Zook/MH.
You two are awesome for helping me walk through this. I'm glad that I challenged myself by going a smidge beyond the recommended first build, but I'm really glad I kept it to some very simple additions and didn't add a ton of accent LEDs, etc. Here's the final draft. Again, thanks, you two.

What you have there will work, but the led in the switch will be on all the time. If you don't want that, move it to the one of the Vout and GND pads on the pololu board.
