FOUND A SOLUTION!!
After a week of our Pottery barn kids round wool rug (bought on ebay) smelling like burnt rubber I sprinkled Dysons carpet powder (Zorb) on it, rubbed it in, waited 30 minutes, and vacuumed -it worked almost perfectly at removing the odor. If you sit upon the rug you can smell burnt runner but at least the room no longer smells when you enter.
Now, after seeing what a repeated problem (from this sight) I am really annoyed at PB (terrible quality to let this continue IMO) and I just went up and sprinkled Zorb on the backside of the rug - hopefully it will take care of the residual odor.
PS Zorb is a slightly wet powder (very odd, I know) and has a slight citrus smell. I think you can order it from Dyson (mine came with the vacuum)
