waypoints (i just cant seem to get them to work!)

Hi guy's. So, I think my mapping skill's have gotten to a resonable state, and so I've started putting together a campaign. I finished making the map for the introductory level, so now it's entity time!
Now, I put my first enemy on the map. She's in her own player group (2). I assign her to follow waypoint's named "Enemy-way", and the priority is "5". I put the waypoint's down (as scenery; group 0), make their tag names "Enemy-way". I then make the first's index number "1", and put the next waypoint in the list to "2". Then I label the next waypoint "2", and so on.
So... it doesn't work! And I've all the entity's and starting again, but it doesn't help. The character just seem's to either ignore a couple of the waypoint's, or get to one of them and decide to stop. I haven't ajusted any of the waypoint's parameters apart from those just mentioned. I even just tried having to waypoint's. Labelled as above, with the 1st being "1", and directing to "2", so the second is labelled as "2" and directs to "1"... the character just walks to 1 and stops moving.
I realy can't see a reason for it! Any idea's what might be wrong? Am I missing something?
Thanks,
-Luke
