Looks good to me.
Are you maybe jumping to another domain too when you say you jump to another
page?
Cookies are invisible when the domain changes (or even path in the same
domain in some cases)
http://www.domain1.com/somephp.php <- sets cookie with PHPSESSIONID
http://www.domain2.com/somephp.php <- invisible here
I am unsure if that is the case of course.
A great way to debug theese kind of problems is by simply investigating the
cookies set on your browser.
(Use Firefox or Mozilla for a userfriendly cookieviewer under tools)
