Well, I figured it out on my own. It turns out, the capacitor to ground, C10 (100nF), is problematic with some programmers, and not necessary in the circuit. See this post:
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/41495/what-values-of-resistor-and-capacitor-to-use-for-avr-reset-pin-isolation
I removed C10 (100nF) and plugged my Atmel AVRISP MKII programmer in and the status LED on the programmer instantly turned green. I am now able to connect to the ATmega8A on the Grove PWM Motor Driver board.
Next to come...
Changing fuse bits to change frequency and possibly use an external oscillator (16Mhz).
