Keith,
 
Try putting Phoebe's poops from outside the litter box *in* the litter
box whenever she's pooped in the other corner.  This will help reinforce
the use of the box.
 
Also, when you clean the litter box leave some poops in it -- the box
won't be so much fun to play in when it's a little dirty.
 
Don't stop what you're doing.  It sounds like you're on the road to
success, but it'll take some time (some ferrets even forget after using
the litter box successfully for some time, and then you have to do some
retraining)!  :)
