The i2c probe command should work if your daughter card is working properly.

What is the target chip that is not responding?  You have given us no 
useful information.

I would connect a logic analyzer (preferred) or scope to the SDA and SCL 
lines on the I2C chip on your daughter card and verify the signals are 
making it to the chip and are valid signals.  It is tough with a scope, 
but with a logic analyzer you should be able to decode the signals and 
see the target chip's response or lack thereof.
