I followed the instructions in the first post of this thread exactly, loaded it, jumped 1 sector away, then back a sector, saved and exited the game, relaunched it and it's working flawlessly.
If you run into trouble with it not auto docking after hailing the station and choosing auto dock, make sure to aim for the flashing green square of docking guidance, since just flying by the station won't do any good unless you're within 1-2 km of the docking icon that spawn in space.
