hi all,

we have a messaging system using the service broker.  code and setup is the
same on dev and live db.  a while ago, i had backed up the live db, and
restored it on dev.  messaging on dev stopped working soon after.  not too
sure how that relates, but that's the only changed to the db/system.

after some debugging, i found that the server just doesn't send the message
to the queue/service, but it says successful and no error.  but there's
nothing in the queue.  and i sure nothing else picked it up.  it ran the
script below on the db which got restored on dev.  also ran it on existing
DBs.  also newly created db.  results are all the same.  the count(*) on the
queue returns 0.  any ideas???  thank you very much in advance!!!
