Okay.

A few comments.

1) Start with the default lifecycle and make small changes to it. You
should be able to find your issue.

2) From what I can see in your "transitions" hash, there is no key of
"Awaiting Parts". Thus there are no valid transitions for that status
to change to. I'm not sure how "Awaiting Status" is showing up.

3) I just read on rt-user that there is a 25 character limit for
status names. If that is true, then you are running into that wall as
well.

Cheers!
