Ray, I had this same exact issue. The solution for me was to do a complete un/re-install of JFW.
The issue I fell into which I think that you also fell into was forgetting to write a line into the default jFW scripts. There is the first chunk that you are suppose to write then there is an additional line that must be written in and where this line isn't written that is where JAWS won't recognize anything. I am writting this off of memory as I don't feel like digging for the scripts.

I was installing Skypewatch, using the new method; and, I pressed control+s to compile the new script. When that happened, the default.jss must have gotten corrupted because JAWS totally didn't know what to do with any key stroke it saw. Because I had JAWS starting as a service, I could never get anything done. I tried to do an unintended OS re installation; but, I must have forgotten what to do or something because it just wouldn't work. After a while, I just restarted the system and got Narrator going. I then went in to the task manager and; using first letter navigation, I was able to find jfw.exe and shut it down. From there, I was able to start a prior version of JAWS to uninstall JAWS 9. From that point, I tried to re install JAWS 9 only to discover that now, my computer could not read any of the FS disks I gave it. I had then to download JAWS 9 and I was able to install and reauthorize it. Now, however, my computer cannot detect the presence of either my CD ROM or my CD burner. Doug was absolutely correct in urging caution while installing the new Skype Watch; but now, I may just decide to do away with Skype all together; but then again, who knows. Yeah, I guess you could say I did it to myself; but, then again, maybe it's time for an OS re installation anyhow.
