Could you attach the notebook which is giving you problems? It makes it much easier to help debug. Simply click the "Attach" dropdown menu in the upper right corner of the reply text box. Choose "notebook" then select the desired notebook.

This is probably something simple but much easier to troubleshoot this way.
