What you need to work on first is the contacts for the simulation, you can suppress a gear mate and use instead just contacts thats how I simulated that Diff on my models
One pretty good tutorial on a Geneva Mechanism can be found here: http://gupta9665.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/animating-geneva-mechanism-in-solidworks/
Here is something on motion along the path:

Adam, there's a book. Creating animations with SolidWorks. It's the most comprehensive and has basic motion tuts. It's called "Creating Animations with SolidWorks"
