It sounds as if you're not providing the proper cookie.

I doubt this works. These kinds of session cookies are usually generated with
a session-specific value, so when you just repeat an old value you once had,
it won't have the desired effect. The server is bound to consider it illegal.

You probably first need to fetch the page that sets this cookie, then move on
you do this operation and use the cookie you just got.

LiveHTTPHeaders can reveal the answers to you.

... and you probably still want to follow Location: headers, because it is
very likely that you'll just get a different one when you do everything right.
