That's a lot of code to just dig into. Have you used debug techniques such as firing off an alert box when code takes one path versus another? Monitored the state changes for the http/xml request? Viewed the output of the Javascript console? Generally speaking, the more information you can scrape together, the better. Use binary search techniques: look at things halfway between the beginning and the end, work in the direction of failure, jumping halfway each time. Divide and Konqueror, so to speak. Or IE.
