Tim,

this sounds as if you forgot to send an initial <presence/> message 
out! If you don't send a <presence .../> at least once, you won't be 
informed about presence (and others won't be informed about your 
presence).

This is on purpose - e.g. specialised apps could use it. Your jabber 
enabled fridge would not send out a presence, but you could still 
message it, and it could still message your shopping mall if your 
milk needs to be resupplied :)


Bye,

Max
