SendAddonMessage() problem

I'm having a problem tring to communicate between clients with my addon... this code (ChatMsg is my local display function):

Code:

  local target = string.sub(msg, spos, epos)
   ChatMsg(MLLID.." ".. target)
   SendAddonMessage(MMLID, "share", "WHISPER", target)

results in a display of my prefix and a valid character name for example:

Code:

 
MMLx Magrra

So I know I am sending a proper set of arguments, yet when someone invokes the function and I receive the event CHAT_MSG ADDON:

Code:

 elseif (event == "CHAT_MSG_ADDON") then
  ChatMsg(MLLTag.."("..arg1..")")
  if(arg1 == MLLID) then

I get nothing (ie. arg1 is nil) for my own addon:

Code:

MasterLewtLogger 2.04.01: ()

though all other addons give me their prefix... my chat is spammed with messages like:

Code:

MasterLewtLogger 2.04.01: (QuGu)

Where might this be screwing up...?
any ideas?
