It is exactly the same IMU as mine. So it should be almost plug n' play. Triple check your wires, or try resetting the high pass filter, by pulling the HP pin high (see the datasheet page 7 http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Sensors/IMU/lpr530al.pdf). Not sure if it would work, as the description says that it it removed, as you said.
You do not have to apologize
