XXI in 1939

Hi I have been trying to make the type XXI available in 1939 and have closely followed the thread by Cdre Gibs in http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=50121 I am running Commander 2.6 and have carried out the copy and paste applicable to the basic cfg file ;(SUBMARINE_AMMO11);XXI, carefully checked its content and carried out and checked the (CONING TYPE12) ;XXI/1 changes of date from 1943 to 1939, and the (AMMO TYPE9); 2cm FK C/38 Flakzwilling XXI file, changes of date to 1939. The required changes have been made to Flotilla cfg files for flotilla's 1 and 2. All these have been correctly saved and rechecked in detail.
The sub files in Silent Hunter III/data/submarine/NSS uboat 21 were subjected to cutting and pasting from Cdre Gib's instructions for the equipment and the sensor cfg files, but I noticed that the files in the article were identical to my existing files both in my IUB , RUB and my unmodded standard SHIII. all have starting Dates of 19380101 and End Dates of 19451231, all other info being identical.
Commander was rolled back before starting all this and "correct u-boat avilability" was turned off.
After all this the XXI refuses to appear in Commander or anywhere when in Career mode (It is there as usual in the single missions). Starting the game direct does not offer the XXI either, on any date in career mode! Rechecking the files shows nothing ammiss.I changed the XXI's roster cfg file as well, but to no avail.
I must be missing something, can anyone spot it? I am getting a "thing" about getting this going.
