Your configuration looks correct to me at first glance.

If you have a green light on the back of the T1 card, then you're at
least seeing framing and line-coding from Qwest, which is the first
step.  

The second (and completely different) step is getting the D-channel to
come up.  What did Qwest say when you told them that you're not seeing
the D-channel come up on the circuit?  It's been my experience with
Qwest PRIs that you have to call them and have them reset a few things
on their switch to get the D-channel to come up.
