Problems with description.ext and CfgIdentities

[T3kNiCkeL]

I'm making a mission all's going well except for the fact I can't define a character using CfgIdentities. For example, I want to have a unit use sidechat
so I put...
"soldier sidechat ""Hi""";
in the init field.
I defined soldier in description.ext using CfgIdentities.
class CfgIdentities
{
   class soldier
   {
      name = "Private Bob";
      face = "Face1";
                          glasses="None";
      speaker = "Patrick";
      pitch = 1.0;
   };
};
The message comes up, but instead of using "private bob" in the radio chat it comes up only as Alpha Red 1. Also I am sure description.ext is functional because I have already implmented working sounds just the name of the unit doesn't show up as I want it to. What am I doing wrong? I would appreciate any help.
