I really don't get this, the code I was using was exactly the same as what you sent.
Heck it was your code
.
Anyway, I went ahead and completely deleted the code from the .user file and reentered it using the editor and now it works.
I'm not sure what is different, unless the mechanic just had to be totally removed before it could be modified, but since it works I'm going to leave it alone.
Thanks for all the help.
