Each device file must be loaded separately - you are concatenating them
together and only calling AddDevice once...

Try this:

 sendname = "cd player recv"
 devfile = App.Path + "\cdslr.cde"
 Open devfile For Binary As #1
 devtext = Input(LOF(1), 1)
 Close (1)
  x = Slinkx.AddDeviceText(sendname, devtext, devID, slinkenum, portnum)


 sendname = "cd player send"
 devfile = App.Path + "\cdsls.cde"
 Open devfile For Binary As #1
 devtext = Input(LOF(1), 1)
 Close (1)
 x = Slinkx.AddDeviceText(sendname, devtext, devID, slinkenum, portnum)


You could also simply by doing this:
(Note, I switched to the AddDevice command)

 sendname = "cd player recv"
 devfile = App.Path + "\cdslr.cde"
 x = Slinkx.AddDevice(sendname, devfile, devID, slinkenum, portnum)

 sendname = "cd player send"
 devfile = App.Path + "\cdsls.cde"
 x = Slinkx.AddDevice(sendname, devfile, devID, slinkenum, portnum)
