Magento Module is not responding to events

Question

I have been scouring the web for solutions to the issue I have been having for 6 hours.

I am trying to create a Magento module that will respond to the customer logged in and registered events - sounds simple right.. apparently not for me :)

EDIT: I completely forgot to explain the issue... Anytime I log into an account the module is supposed to log the event in the system.log file in var/log. However, it never does. I know something is wrong with my code I just do not know what I am missing.

Here is some info on my files:

app/etc/modules/DigitalCK_all.xml

app/code/community/DigitalCK/PHPBB/etc/config.xml app/code/community/DigitalCK/PHPBB/Model/Observer.php

notes: the module is currently in the community folder because I had some sliver of hope that moving it from local would fix the issue.. but rest assured it does not work in either directory...

file directories are all 644 folder directories are all 755 var and media directories are 777 Logging IS enabled

Magento version 1.7.0.2

Also... As I was following some magento tutorials I noticed that they never really worked for me.. ex: I would get 404 errors on routers because the "frontname wasn't attached to any modules" or whatever.

not sure if that provides any information.

seriously though any help is appreciated so much at this point.

Thanks.

<?php

class DigitalCK_PHPBB_Model_Observer 
{

    public function phpbbLogin(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
    {
        Mage::log("customer Logged in");
    }

    public function phpbbRegister(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
    {
    }
}

?>
