Did you remember to make the modification to the Makefile in the
directory above the one you made for acx, as they describe in their HOWTO?

Just as a refresher, the modification is:

echo 'obj-m += acx/' >> Makefile

They have a description of how to build the module outside of the kernel
tree in their HOWTO, did you try that?

Does/did anything in the acx directory compile? Any object files (*.o)
in there after the make?

Will try.

Nothing compiled so far, but will try the 'outside' version.

That's very strange. Does the compiler exit with an error message? If
it can't even create one object file you'd think it would
have the courtesy to cough up an error message...

Yes, it ends with an error message, but I haven't written it down.
Before trying the 'outside' version, I'll recompile and give it. Given
time, will do so tomorrow.
