Terry,

Orientation of the magnet's magnetic field is very important.  If the 
central axis of the magnet and magnetic field are the same then this would 
explain the null effect in your first experiments.  I have observed many 
different magnetic field orientations in permament magnets.  Most of the 
time magnet sellers will give the magnetic field orientations (see Wonder 
Magnets web site).  You can also grossly map the field with another small 
test magnet probe or compass.
