cakephp: my domain on shared host justhost is not displaying flash messages

Question

My domain on the shared host is not displaying any flash messages. It is displaying fine on my local server. I have the following in the students_controller:

function add(){

$this->Session->setFlash('Your child\'s admission has been received. We will send you an email shortly.'); 
}

I have the following in default.ctp(the layout file) and add.ctp:

echo $this->Session->flash();

the /app/tmp folder and all the folders within that have the permission 777.

I had also put debug($this->Session->read()); in the students_controller and it is giving:

Array
(
    [_Token] => a:5:{s:3:"key";s:40:"39a5e70df521f8f175d20060abb261b69611f0a1";s:7:"expires";i:1327392309;s:18:"allowedControllers";a:0:{}s:14:"allowedActions";a:0:{}s:14:"disabledFields";a:0:{}}
    [Message] => Array
        (

        [flash] => Array
            (
                [message] => Your child's admission has been received. We will send you an email shortly.
                [element] => default
                [params] => Array
                    (
                    )

            )

    )

)

In app_controller.php:

var $helpers = array('Html','Form','Ajax','Javascript','Session');
var $components=array('Auth','Session','Cookie');

In core.php, I've tried setting: Configure::write('debug', 0); instead of Configure::write('debug', 2); Configure::write('Session.save', 'cake'); instead of Configure::write('Session.save', 'php');

I have no blank spaces after or before in routes.php.

Can someone help me out? What mistake am I making?

If I try the code abe I get an error that the variable $session is undefined. Shouldn't the check() call be:

$this->Session->check()

I'm not sure you even need the check() though, $this->Session->flash() won't print anything unless the required Session key is populated.
