I think the issue is the add instruction not the conditional jump here.
It needs to be an "adds" to update the flags so the carry.
With beq (or bcs) you are jumping on a condition set by the movs a few lines
before, beq does not jump because the movs before did not set the zero flag
otherwise you wouldn't be executing that code, you would have branched to
__error_p. 
Please let me know if it works I have not tested so I might be wrong.

Patches for versatile express coming, 

Cheers,
Lorenzo
