Well, because I spent 6 hours last night fiddling with it... tried to input sludge to every block face on the machine with both liquiduct and BC waterproof pipes and the machine would never fill.

Upon the feed-failure, I figured it might need to be powered in order to accept from outside pumps... Fully charged it with IC2 power, no dice. Fully charged it with BC power, still no dice, gave it a redstone signal and denied it a redstone signal with each attempt as well..

I fiddled with it in each and every way I could conceive of... perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but the most I could do was get the 'sleep' timer to rapidly flash by applying a solid redstone signal to it via an attached lever.

After all of that I kinda threw up my hands and figured I'd send a call out for a little help... so now I'm inquiring as to what I could have possibly missed. ;)
