Backbone Marionette and RequireJS

I am trying to set up a new application using Backbone.Marionette and RequireJS. I am following along with enzo's guide to set up my routers and controllers but am getting the following error- "Undefined is not a function" when trying to instantiate the controller. 

require( ['marionette', './assets/js/router', './assets/js/routeController'], function (Marionette, Router, routeController)  {  

    var MyApp = new Backbone.Marionette.Application();

    var controller = new routeController({});

And if I hover over routeController in the function paramater is shows as "undefined."

What am I doing wrong? This is driving me insane.

Edit: The routeController file is as follows-

define(["marionette"], function (Marionette) {

   var Controller = Backbone.Marionette.Controller.extend({
    initialize : function(options) {

     },
    start: function() {

    },

     home :  function () {
        alert('Hello, welcome home!');
    },
});

return Controller;

});

When you get a null when requesting a module from RequireJS, there are two typical possibilities:

1) The module being required in isn't returning something

Is Controller non-null in routeController.js? Throw a debugger in there to make sure.

2) There is a circular dependency somewhere

It's easy enough to create a circular dependency somewhere in your modules. Doesn't look like that's the case here, but could happen if router.js is doing something funky.
