One remaining issue might be that the Linux Skype version (2.0) may now be too old to be acceptable to Skype, though that would be surprising.
I agree it would be bad form for Skype to deprecate a version of their software by introducing some kind of protocol incompatibility. But I would also argue that it's worth doing the test. Skype are now peddling a "2.1 Beta" version of the Linux client. If your problem is solved by using this, it's a good indication that the problem was related to your client version.
BTW, I seem to be running Skype 2.0.0.72 (Debian unstable, Qt v. 4.5.3-4) on Linux without problems.
