issues bridging 1.4.8 to vbulletin 3.5.4

[blamo]

Hi I'd appreciate any help you can contribute towards fixing this issue. I've had success in the past bridging coppermine to vbulletin, I was able to with 1.4.3 to vb3.5.3, although with upgrading cpg, it broke the bridging and won't allow me to log in now (through the bridge, if it's disabled, then I can log in using cpg's authentication).

I've installed a fresh install of 1.4.8 to make sure it wasn't some random bug from installing. I get the same results as the other install. Here is the information you request to be posted with bridging issues.

Also since it seems it could possibly be a cookie issue, here is some extra cookie information for you that is in my vbulletin set-up and coppermine set-up.

Thanks.
