Here's the missing step - you need the "destination tag". Bitstamp uses a single Ripple address and uses that destination tag to match it to your account.
The easiest way to get the destination tag field to actually appear is to click the deposit link from within Bitstamp. Of course you also need to send BTC after you have traded your XRP to BTC. When I try to send XRP Bitstamp have been kindly sending them back to me.
I also notice you can copy the Bitstamp Ripple address with the dt (destination tag) field but for me I found that while I can paste it into the box the destination tag field does not appear so I haven't tried it this way yet.
Still don't like Ripple until it's OpenSourced though.

Mine too

I think that was indeed the step I was missing. Thank you for your help 
Be careful, I send 2.5 BTC a while ago and I'm still waiting... No response from bitstamp.net support.
Yeah, sadly I'm also waiting on 1.15BTC from them.
One cuestion, do you have sent the BTC with the option "Send using Ripple web client" or without it? Thanks.
I sent it using the Ripple client by using the address found here: https://www.bitstamp.net/account/deposit/ripple/

If you traded them for Bitstamp BTC IOU's then you would create an account a bitstamp.net, deposit your IOU's so you then have a BTC balance at bitstamp.net, and then finally withdraw your BTC from bitstamp.net to your wallet address.
I've figured out how to trade Ripples for BTC, but I cannot seem to figure out how to withdraw the BTC from that wallet. If anyone knows how, could you please point me to instructions on doing so?
