It is a classic issue with the passed session in a variable, and easily fixed with a small amount of code. I am not in my office right now but I'm sure I've posted a link to a page with the code.

This causes the user to start fresh before they have added anything to the cart. - Donovan P.S. that is probably the issue.. but other things, such as a hard coded CART number, can cause this message as well. ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
