Can't get chapters to export from Premier Pro to Encore - CS4

So my office upgrades my DVD authoring software including Adobe Encore and Premier Pro to CS4...cool! Problem is I can no longer figure out how to export chapters from PP to Encore. I had this down pat in the previous versions of the software I was using.
I'm doing the following:
1. set up timeline in PP
2. place Encore Chapter Markers where I want chapters in Encore
3. export video w/ chapters using Adobe Media Encoder (another new step)
4. go into Encore and import the exported video
5. create timeline from video that's been imported into Encore
So in the past when I created the timeline I'd see all my chapters show up. Now the video comes in fine but none of my chapters are there.
I've scoured the net and am not sure what step I'm missing.

The Encore Chapter Markers need to be named. It's a CS4 requirement that if the Encore Chapter Markers are not named then MPEG-2 DVD exports won't carry them into Encore.
That'll fix ya up. Just did a week of trouble shooting this exact thing.
Using Send to Encore is great, but the Media Cache files get full quickly when using the Dynamic Link feature. Much Faster render times if you know the material won't fill the disc at High Quality MPEG-2 DVD setting.

I've always numbered my chapter markers using numbers. Since a chapter number is automatically placed at the front I always started with 2 and went up from there. So I do have the name box filled out...with numbers. Still not exporting.
