InDesign people again!

UPDATE: I found a mention on a forum that Apple's Snow Leopard update broke the engine that creates the booklets. However I've got InDesign on PC at work, so I'm going to take a copy in and see if it works there.

---------------

InDesign users who have experience with creating printer spreads from InDesign: help! Every time I try to create printer spreads using Print Booklet, it insists on putting them out of order.

It *should* place them like so:

Back Cover (pg 52) | Cover (pg 1)
Inside Front (2) | Inside Back (51)
50 | 3
4 | 49
etc.

What I get is:

Blank | Cover (1)
2 | Back Cover (52)
Inside Back (51) | 3
4 | 50
etc.

What am I doing wrong here? 52 is divisible by 4, so they should all fit properly onto 13 sheets of double-sided paper, and I can't think of anything else...

I take it you've checked the left- and right-handedness of pages? I haven't used Print Booklet per se--so far I've only set up books literalmindedly because it helps me see how things will be.
