Perhaps you should show us exactly what you're doing now.  If you want
someone to try what you have and/or find your problem, you really need
to provide details of what you're doing.  Based on you previous posts,
you wouldn't have gotten even this far (at least not without the benefit
of the responses to those posts).  But I don't think it's fair to have 
others guess how you might have changed your script as a result of those
responses.
