You haven't really described any specific problem or error message, so
it's hard to say what the problem is. Here are my thoughts:

Get rid of the serialize/unserialize stuff. The session handler will
take care of this automatically so you don't need to worry about it.
The problem, however, is that you need to make sure PHP knows about the
class before the object is unserialized. To do this, disable
session.auto_start in php.ini (if it isn't already) and make sure that
the class is defined before calling session_start().

If you're using PHP5, I highly recommend the use of __autoload() to
make this process easier.
