Just got back into Bitcoin mining - I'm not receiving pool payments

[duffmanhb]

Essentially I decided to get back in recently since the price of a coin is no longer fractions of a cent when I used to mine (My 150 coin wallet no longer exists. Stupid me.)

So I am all set up with BTCmine pool and so far got a total of .22 payout, but have yet to actually recieve it. I put in my address properly, double/triple checked that it was okay, but when I fire up Bitcoin it still says I have 0.00 wallet and no received payments. Is this normal? Maybe I am not being patient enough?

Has your Bitcoin client downloaded the full block chain?

i'm having the same problem. i've checked my recieving adress, it showes the payments have gone out, but it's been 2 weeks and only the first payment has gone out. also, a transaction i sent to myself on may 21 to see if the client was working is still unconfirmed.
i've backed up the wallet, deleted the client, re-installed it, and the same thing still happens. what is going on?
any ideas?

Can you search for your receiving address(es) on both BlockExplorer and http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/ ?  That might help give us a better idea of what's happening.
