Create a text field and append string into it so you can see what is going
on.
txt.text += "i am about to load the model";
txt.text += "load failed" + e; // in the fail function handler
txt.text += "load success - now adding child"; // in the success handler
then see what's written in your text field online.
Probably another path issue. use ./ instead of / and make sure you upload
you assets to their correct locations etc. Apart from that hope the txt
field gives more info.
