the scout is pretty much plug and play, but the arm has to be right on the pivot point, or it ain't gonna play properly. lift the arm up, and try to get the sharp point right on to the bottom of the arm. if it's right, it'll wobble a bit when you set it on a record, but not that much. if that's still not getting it done, and you're sure the arm is on properly, then it could very well be not enough vtf. this to is easy to fix, but you will need a guage to get it done. the shure is pretty good and cheap, although at some point i'd reccomend a digital scale. these can also be had relatively inexpensively.you got a great table. don't worry, shortly things will be terrific.
Follow Ups:
The arm, as I am sure you are aware, sits on a needle tipped pivot point. The area that contacts the needle is coned shaped, and comes to a point where the needle of the base is supposed to contact the tonearm.It is very easy to set the needle on the lip or the edge of the cone instead of inside the cone itself. Peer up into where the arm sits on the needle to make sure that the arm is seated properly. Making sure that the arm plays in all directions is also helpful, and can be done with the arm still on it's arm rest.
If the arm is seated correctly, you might have somehow moved the counterweight during packing/unpacking/assembling. If this is the case, you might return to you dealer with just the arm (I'm assuming he has a Scout on display), or purchase a tracking force scale to position the counterweight yourself.
Be careful and don't try to do too much, it's probably something simple, and if you mess with it too much you might damage your cartridge.
