Hmm might try the combination of the 2 things then. Do a send in time with absolute pathing. Also i've noticed recently that inserting a wait 0 with messages prior to where a problem like this occurs sometimes magically fixes it. Its as if there is other housekeeping/engine stuff going on that interferes despite the message apparently getting through.
