Hmmm... look into your ModLoader.txt, problems that don't crash MC usually show up there.
Are those the only mods your using?
Found out the problem....I was installing the mod into my backup .minecraft folder not the live directory Installing it the live /mods directory and it appears to be working fine now. There goes 5 hours of my life troubleshooting a problem that didn't really exist. Move along...nothing to see here...only a dumbass.
