The datasheet (728K PDF) states that an 0.33µF (or more) capacitor is required between input and ground if the regulator is an appreciable distance from the power supply filter (most likely). It also recommends an 0.1µF capacitor between the output and ground for better stability.

Im seriously considering ordering a Pre-printed board if my hack job doesn't work :/
I've been quite happy with these guys for small, one off boards. They are a bunch of hobby robotics enthusiasts who arrange group PCB orders for their projects.
