You may want to make sure your browser cache isn't showing you an old page. Hit F5 a few times, and also make sure your browser settings have the cache at 0MB, so it doesn't cache anything.
After that I'd start by adding some print statements after you add the variable to the session and right before you push the variable into the template, to see if it's making it through the redirect. If it is, then the issue is with your template, if it's not then the issue is with the session.
