Developer doesn't respond: Won't wake my computer - Version: 2.1.1, 3/7/2007 03:26PM PST

The program won't wake my computer consistently. I reset my permissions using OnyX, restarted, opened only iTunes and it still won't wake my computer. As soon as I hit the spacebar--no matter how long past the alarm time--Powercontroller will open the script and play the playlist.
When I change just the alarm time in the script and then put my computer to sleep Powercontroller works fine, waking my computer, opening the script and starting the playlist.
I'm stumped. I've asked the developer to help solve this but I've gotten NO response via email or Version Tracker.

Issues:
1. Doesn't wake my computer
2. Doesn't recognize my new iTunes library even though the previous one has been deleted.
3. Developer is unresponsive to emails & Version Tracker feedback.
Don't waste your money.
