Let me rephrase my post: you cannot use "fastboot flash" to flash unsigned images (and this recovery is unsigned) if your bootloader is locked.

Best recovery by far. Never any issues. Been using this version for months and months. Perfect with flashing, backing up, restoring, and partitioning.
Thanks for the help- I had checked MD5 sums, they were correct. It turns out the problem was that I did not realize I needed an unlocked bootloader; I had used one-click root in the past.It's fastboot flash recovery <filename>
[Edit: Nevermind - just re-read the post, you've presumably tried the correct syntax. Have you confirmed that the image file is correct - i.e. check the md5 signature?]
Just wondering...has clockwork taken over the recovery on all phones now? Still use RA personally...and would love to continue on which ever phone I move on to.
I have flashed this recovery from the Google Stock ROM (Android 2.3.4) and I haven't needed to make root. Just to unlock OEM bootloader, flash recovery and inmediately flash Cyanogenmod 7.
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
