I don't know what happened there, as the installation was successful.

Let me make sure I understand this first. You have a Fuze v2 and want to Rockbox it. You tried to Rockbox it, but you used rbutil, the automatic installer, and it didn't work. If this is correct, it didn't work because rbutil doesn't support the Fuze V2, Clip+, etc. in the current release.
What OS are you using? I'm using Windows 7 and used the following instructions from Rockbox's site:
Windows
* Make sure your player is in MSC mode.
* Download and Extract the normal build (rockbox.zip) onto your device.
* Create a folder 'rbinstall' in your on the Desktop
* Extract the OF, the bootloader AND mkamsboot into that folder.
* Open a new command promt window (Windowskey+R->cmd.exe). CD to the 'rbinstall' folder ('cd Desktop\rbinstall')
* Run mkamsboot from the command line window you opened in the previous step, passing the name of the OF file you've downloaded and the the bootloader file you've downloaded, as well as a name you can chose yourself for the patched output file
(e.g. 'mkamsboot.exe fuzea.bin bootloader-fuze.bin patched.bin')
* Retry or abort if it does not report success!
* Copy the output file to the root of your device and rename it to whatever the OF file you've downloaded was named
* Safely eject, unplug USB and wait for the firmware update to finish.
* You've successfully installed the bootloader and Rockbox. It boots by default. For booting the OF press |<< very quickly or plug the cable in while it's off (plugging the cable doesn't work on Clipv2 and Clip+).
That's pretty much exactly what I did, and it worked. That's straight from Rockbox's SansaAMS page. Good luck.
