Default Need electrical help

I am trying to install 3 way lighting in the hallway of my basement. I am having major issues getting it to work and posting here is my last straw before I call in an electrician to look at it.

This is the diagram that shows what I'm trying to do:

From http://www.homeimprovementweb.com/in...ch-option7.htm

Synopsis: I have power coming up from one switch, and two lighting fixtures in between the switches.

The problem is that the switch where the power comes from, only turns the light on and off when the far side switch is on. With the far side switch off, the lights never turn on.

Any suggestions what to check?
