Weird workflow behaviour with the TSCM tutorial

I am currently following the TSCM tutorial in order to get an overview of ezp. I'm using ezp 3.5 beta on winxp (by the way I have to say that the forum textarea font is really tiny on firefox).

Everything was almost fine until I reached the guestbook workflow part. My workflow is correctly setup (as far as I can tell), my form is ok, and the workflow gets triggered when I post a new guestbook entry. I can see the items in the collaboration section when logged in as administrator. I validate them, and the notifications are marked as ready for publication. I run the runcrobjobs.php script, and I see that 1 workflow item has been processed. However, the entry does not get published. If I go back to collaboration, another notification regarding the same posting is there. I validate it again, and run runcrobjobs.php again. The entry does not come back to collaboration, but it is not published either.

I can't see the entry either when browsing my content structure. Of course, I had posted an entry without the workflow attached, and it was published correctly, so I'd say that the content part itself is ok (class, folder, anonymous permissions).

If i go manually to the object details using its node ID, I can see that it is there, but with a pending status, and I can't modify it...

Any idea what's wrong ? I would really appreciate.
