Eggdrop ignoring /msg commands

I am using eggdrop 1.6.10 on debian and excursion(mirc) on win XP to connect to chat on EFNet.
All looks cool, i can connect to the partyline. I have first connected to the bot through telnet, since it ignored my hello msg. I have then manually altered the userfile from:
CuteRed!telnet@ip to:
*!*@ip
so it would recognize me on irc. The user file:

blah blah
CuteRed - hjmnoptx
! #channelname 0 amno
--HOSTS *!*@ip
...

i want auto op. When i join nothing happens. When i do /msg botname op pass nothing happens. When i'm on the party line and i do the same command i get
(CuteRed!cutie@myip) !*! failed OP

What am i doing wrong?

Edit:
I have changed the log prefs in the config so that everything except w(wobbies or something) is logged. And the funny thing is, the chat gets logged but the commands from irc do not. And yes i have set the logging of commands to ON.

its not recognising your hostmask on irc (as indicated by the !*!, the * meaining it can't find a userrecord matching the host). Double, or triple check that the *!*@ip in the userrecord actually matches the blah!blah@ip the bot sees when you message it.

First of all, thank you for your reply.

To make things clear:
I have tripple checked and even if that was the case, the hello command should create a new user. I however get no reply to any command through irc.

I also noticed that the DCC is refused (no access). It seems it cannot figure out that the user is in the userfile. Telnet works fine.

Both connections (telnet and irc) are made from the same machine. The host is (as said before): *!*@ip. If it works through telnet it should through irc. The userfile also indicates that i had never been in the channel. Seems it cannot put the two together.
