        Matthew,

        You have your mobile site set for "Googlebot". For mobile, you must submit a mobile site map and allow user agent "Googlebot-Mobile" to access your site. The m. subdomain will help with not being duplicate content, but you need to insure the site is mapped as mobile.

        Here is what Google says from WMT:

        **Googlebot may not be able to find your site **
        Googlebot, our crawler, must crawl your site before it can be included in our search index. If you just created the site, we may not yet be aware of it. If that's the case, create aMobile Sitemap and submit it to Google to inform us to the site’s existence. A Mobile Sitemap can be submitted using Google Webmaster Tools, in the same way as with a standard Sitemap.

        **Googlebot may not be able to access your site **
        Some mobile sites refuse access to anything but mobile phones, making it impossible for Googlebot to access the site, and therefore making the site unsearchable. Our crawler for mobile sites is "Googlebot-Mobile". If you'd like your site crawled, please allow any User-agent including "Googlebot-Mobile" to access your site. You should also be aware that Google may change its User-agent information at any time without notice, so it is not recommended that you check if the User-agent exactly matches "Googlebot-Mobile" (which is the string used at present). Instead, check whether the User-agent header_contains _the string "Googlebot-Mobile". You can also use DNS Lookups to verify Googlebot.

        The link to this is: Help Google Index Your Mobile Site

        Hope this helps,
