I recently ran into the same problem while installing 
Cybercash 3.2. I'm not sure how proficient you are with 
Cybercash/MV so I hope that I am not insulting anyone 
by making the following suggestions. Disclaimer: Note 
that I'm not that proficient with MV and I bearly 
understood half of what was posted on this list (if that 
gives you an idea).

The first thing is to check is --
Make sure that Cybercash works -before- installing it with 
Minivend (someone on this list mentioned it before). Run 
Cybercash's Express Setup and try out their test. Use 
the Debug mode in Cybercash, and use the Visa/MC test 
account numbers (4111 1111 1111 1111 should suffice). 
If Cybercash doesn't see the transaction, then you have a 
problem with your set up with Cybercash. Make sure the 
test amount you use is less than $100 (it only works with 
less than $100).

If that works, change the catalog configuration file of MV.
Incidentally, use MV 3.12 if you are using Cybercash 3.2. 
I have never got MV 3.10 to work with Cybercash 3.2 
even after heavy amounts of tweaking (see disclaimer). 
Test that again using the Debug mode.

The one trick I tried was to test Cybercash 3.2 with the 
simple demo provided in MV 3.12. If that works (and it 
should cos I have tried it), then there is something wrong 
with -your- programming, not MV.

eh.. hope that helps.
