Hmm. If your initial status message isn't getting printed out, I'd double check that you are running what you think you are running. (I find the debugger invaluable in cases like this -- I happen to like running it from within (x)emacs). Sometimes a module doesn't do what you think it is going to do, and sometime you aren't even running the code you think you are running!

I know I've been burned by editing a file in one directory, but actually running a version in another directory -- when putting in debugging print statements, I've learned to vary what I output, so I instantly have a positive control that I am running the version of the file I should be -- if the output is "foo" but I just added "baz", I instantly know something is amiss, and don't try to debug the wrong thing...

All that being said, this may not be your problem, but it might give you some clues as to what is going on....

Good luck,
