I assume that you get the CORRECT exception that you are raising,
        - not some other, right?

I suggest:
    - use a debugger if possible to step through it. or
    - comment out the "Raise" temporarily and see if Log_Error works.
      Maybe the data is being buffered and never gets written. or
    - Take a look at your "Default_Verbosity" value (or display it) and see
      if the "Verbosity" is being set to some value that says "Do not put
the
      message in the log", or
    - All the above until something clicks.

Different people have different "styles" when debugging. Your style
will help dictate which of the suggestions above (if any) you try.

Good Luck!
