Errors:

if you notice this message in 6 (a) above: Warning! An error occurred during contract execution:

 

Click VMTrace at the right hand corner to understand what the specific error is.

Currently, there have been no reported errors encountered during this transaction, except for human errors due to incorrect withdrawal addresses being entered. So ensure that during 3. above you cross check/verify that the address you have entered matches the address to which you want the DAO tokens to be sent.

Also DO NOT enter in The DAO contract address (0xbb9bc244d798123fde783fcc1c72d3bb8c189413) as the withdrawal address as the The DAO is not the recipient of your DAO Tokens.
