The reason for this is almost certainly that sessions are not
actually being saved.  

On Unix platforms, using "no value" for session.save_path is
okay.  For many versions of PHP running under windows, the
admin or program has to explicitly set session.save_path in
order for it to work.  The directory has to exist, and PHP has
to have permission to write files into the directory.
