What is missing from the OP is just when he has looked at the ECB. Given that it has an "RB address" it almost certainly has the "wait bit" on. It has not yet been posted.
So why is there a question? Once the ECB is posted it will have the value documented. The ECB is posted when the attached task ends (whether normally or abnormally); it is then up to the attacher to issue DETACH. As has been alluded, it is also important to have initialized (usually to zero) the ECB prior to issuing the ATTACHX.
