I wonder why is your board pad = 5 ? Is board pad arbitrary if it
is a number from the interval 0-32 and at the same time does not colide
with other devices ? 
I thought usuall setting with single board is to assign it pad = 0. 

As for *idn? command: 

I am using linux-gpib-3.2.08 with ines gpib pci card (not sure about the
exact spec.) connected to keithley 2182 nanovoltmeter. "ibtest" works
perfectly for me, including *idn? command :)
