Please do not repost messages - and certainly not at near-daily intervals.
There is a large readership of this list and if you don't get help from
your first message, reposting isn't going to help (it will simply annoy
most people).

Two points:
- you have crossposted to 3 other lists both times. This is regarded as
poor etiquette and makes it even less likely that you will get help from
either list.
- it is extremely difficult to diagnose many problems over the 'Net.
Unless it's immediately obvious what is wrong (i.e. it's a common mistake
or someone has seen it already) it probably depends on your precise
environment.

P.

We sympathise with these types of problem - we all have them.
