issue with USPS

Not sure what I am doing incorrectly to make the USPS "shipping rule" work.

have contacted and received reply from USPS for access to Production Server. Here is what the email said:
Dear Bill,

Thank you for your quick response and for providing the name of your third party software. I would like to congratulate you on moving to production for the U.S. Postal Service's Web Tools Application Program Interfaces (APIs).

Your profile has been updated to allow you access to the Production Server.

1. The Production Server URL is: production.shippingapis.com. For APIs calling the secure server, the URL is secure.shippingapis.com.
2. There is a line of code that refers to "shippingapitest.dll". You'll need to remove the word "test".

If you are using third party software and need assistance, please contact the vendor of the software. They should be able to assist you in obtaining live information using our APIs.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact us again.

Thank you,

Arielle S

Applied the User 123456789 and even tried both servers. but it does not show up in shipping charges when customer checks out. I have fed ex working ok and and a custom working but no USPS.
