Did you check for multiple tnsnames.ora files?  You might have an old
one laying around somewhere else that's getting used instead of the one
you are editing.  I forget exactly how it works, but I believe which
tnsnames.ora gets used is based on where you run the binary from - there
is an oracle.key file in the same directory that points to a Windows
Registry key that then points to a TNS_ADMIN location, or something like
that.  You can find the specifics on Metalink.
