The first problem I hit is related to z homing. The X and Y axes home fine, but when I press the "Home Z" button in Cura, the Z motors only make a high-pitched squealing sound. I think this problem is firmware-related so I will look around in the Repetier firmware for a little longer.

Look for a setting related to the Z feedrate used during homing. You're likely trying to drive the motors too fast.

EDIT: I'm assuming other Z axis moves commanded from Cura work OK. If not, then other things like the steps per mm could be set wrong.

Z homing feedrate is actually lower than my Marlin setting, I don't think that's the problem. However, the Z axis does move normally when not homing so perhaps another homing related setting is off?
