problems getting notifications to work[J1.5 FLEXIaccess grp]

On our site, registered users can post content (job offers and events) without an admin reviewing their content prior to publication but of course admins must be notified whenever content is added or modified this way. In Flexicontent's configuration (dashboard -> configuration) I enabled notifications. I enabled and configured them in the categories and in the types but not a single notification is being sent.
I thinkt this is an issue conntected to the fact that the content is not subject to prior review and it's published immediately. But precisely because these articles are published without an admins' review we need to be notified. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Can you please tell with which version you are working?

Same question ... joomla and FLEXIcontent version

Ooops.... sorry ...:
Joomla is 1.5.26 and FlexiContent is version 1.5.6 RC9b (r1601)

I just realized that the problem is even more severe: Flexicontent does not send any notification by itself at all. The only notification I get is when someone that may not publish klicks on the "approval request" button.
Is that only on my installation or is this a known problem?

Notifications of r1601 have been tested, this is most likely a misconfiguration issue.

e.g.
You mention Global configuration, these setting are always overridden by settings in each Content Type, did you check there is notification are disabled ?
