I'll trust you on the $result not being empty, but I couldn't replicate it.
I found your duplicate data, I'd recommend looking into what the
meaningless characters actually are before saying they're completely
meaningless. Wotever the output is coming from the server is what you're
getting, I seriously doubt curl has anything to do with duplicating 3 lines
at the end of a page where it doesn't actually do it with the 2 preceding
pages you need to get for your cookies (see below for more details)

This page doesn't actually require a login to view. but anyways back to
your cookie issue

The code you sent doesn't work because you are not doing what a normal
browser would do.
This example gets you the full cookies you're after

function AUTH_SITE_COOKIE_STORE($LOGINURL, $POSTFIELDS) {
   $ch = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $LOGINURL);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt"); // Connect to the
login page and get the session ID cookie & some other temp cookie
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MSIE
5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
     ob_start();
         curl_exec ($ch);
     ob_end_clean();
   curl_close($ch);

   $ch = curl_init();
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $LOGINURL);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookie.txt"); // Get the login
cookies and other stuff
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt"); // send back the
session ID & wotever the temp cookie was.
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, -1); // Go where the site
tells me to go
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $POSTFIELDS);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible;MSIE
5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");
     ob_start();
       curl_exec ($ch);
     ob_end_clean();
   curl_close ($ch);

   return "cookie.txt";
}

Always remember - If at first it falls over -> do exactly what a browser
would do, don't skip steps. You'll prolly find that its important.
Also, you don't need to put quotes around string variables, that was
confusing to start with.

I also noticed that you modified the POST string being sent.
By default the site puts this in
Done=/bin/home/ehomepage (don't forget to urlencode the /'s)

where you've got
Done=xxx

but you might have done that deliberately to block out something sensitive...

The cookie file from this is rather large:

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# http://www.netscape.com/newsref/std/cookie_spec.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.
