Cookies have various attributes that restrict the cases in which a browser will
send them in a request. He mentioned one of those attributes, path, that could
be causing your problem.
I think it is more likely a case of the domain being different, as that is
another attribute. Of course, we're both just guessing.
I am just now in the process of converting a chapter of my book into HTML, so
that I can offer it for free on my Web site. You can read the chapter (without
the figures, currently) here:

Hope that helps.
