Trying to duplicate an existing AI = Pets stop responding/moving

Hi all!
So I've just returned after many years to tinker with ServUO, I can usually figure out most of the simple things, but this one is eluding me.
What I want to do is to copy the existing Mage AI and make the copy of that more punishing, by decreasing cast delays and adding a different mix of spells to a creatures arsenal.
So in my case I wanted to copy the Paladin AI and have that assigned to pets.
I copied the PaladinAI file, the MageAI file and renamed them PetPaladinAI and PetMageAI
I changed all the instances inside the files to the updated name
I updated and added both AI's to the BaseAI file
All compiles aok, but as soon as either of those new AI's are attached to a pet, or monster, they stop responding to commands and are stuck in place.
Switching them back to the standard stock AI's and they carry on as normal.
Argh!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check ingame, the props, what the AI ist set to?

I did indeed, yea
When I set it to the new AI, that's when they stop responding (They don't respond to commands at all).
If I set it back to default or something like melee/mage, they carry on as normal.
It's probably something really obvious, but I'm struggling to find out what it might be, I'm sure I had this problem years ago and figured it out.

Did you add it here?

Well of course, I'd never be stupid enough to leave it out of there....erm.
Thank you so much Pyro, I'll give it a go here in a second, I had a feeling as I Said it was something obvious.

Seems to work aok, had a few shard crashes when my pet used the healing spells, I think I set the timespan delay too low, so it wasn't happy.

System.ArgumentException: TimeSpan does not accept floating point Not-a-Number values.
   at System.TimeSpan.Interval(Double value, Int32 scale)
   at Server.Mobiles.PetMageAI.CheckCastHealingSpell() in D:\ServUO\Scripts\Mobiles\AI\Magical AI\PetMageAI.cs:line 506

So I just restored it and edited again, seems happy now.
