Camera won't activate when running sequence

I apologize for the lack of detail (no logs), but perhaps my question falls under the "dumb beginner" category...

I set up a sequence, using my Canon T3i as camera (camera connects successfully, as can be verified from using it for Frame and focus as well as for Autofocus) and AVX (Celestron Telescope Driver) as mount (have tried both with and without connecting the telescope with the same results).

The sequence is simple, say Lights, 5 repetitions 1 minute each. I have selected a directory to save files to. I also have PhD2 set up as guider (with server enabled).

When clicking "Start Sequence", apparently the sequence begins, the timer starts running, but there's NO shutter activation, no matter how long one waits. Strangely enough, when stopping the dead sequence, there's a shutter activation then (audible click).

So currently I'm just using SGP for Autofocus and then have to switch to BYE to actually take my lights. I'd like to just use SGP, but to do so, this must be resolved. Any help appreciated.
