My new skin can only be seen when 'forced'

I can see my new skin in the Options Menu and also in the game but only if I force it. My buddy and I can't use it in a game otherwise. (We see the default soldier instead of my new skin.) Must be some lame mistake but I can't find it and I've gone over pak file a zillion times.
That means it's working on our individual computers but somehow the info is not being sent correctly ?
Does anyone recoqnize the symptoms?
Thanks
