Ok, always good to make a few simple scripts to test this. :-)

so: page1.php starts a session.
page2.php tries to read the session (without succes).

Try to add on page2.php some things like:
- echo session_id()
- dump all cookies print_r($_COOKIES);

what do they say?

and maybe read up here (if you didn't do so already)
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php


Last resort:
I had some (confusing) trouble with Sessions before, when using
session_start().
I switched to 'session.auto_start' by modifying php.ini, and I never had
problems again. :-/
If you can modify php.ini, you could give that a try.
You can also delete all session_start() from your scripts then. :-)

Hope that helps a bit.
It is always difficult to debug a remote system. :P
