Subj : Caller ID problems?

Anyone here run into caller ID issues on your telephone lines? Most of my
lines are existing wiring, but I have one new line I've run myself using
Cat5 cable. I recently moved my DSL over to the primary line so it looks
like this:

  network - NI - DSL splitter:Network
                 DSL Splitter:Voice - old voice runs + blu/white - RJ11 #1
                 DSL Splitter: Data - org/white - RJ11 #2

Blu/white and Org/white are the first two pairs of a Cat5 cable, wired
tip/ring to two separate RJ-11 cables.
                     
The old voice runs work fine and have Caller ID coming across, and DSL
works like a charm, but the new voice line on the Cat5 isn't delivering
Caller ID correctly. Nothing comes across on the display. I tested my phone
by moving it to one of the old runs, and it gets caller ID, but when
plugged into the new line, no CID. I checked polarity, and it's good on the
troublesome jack. The voice line is good, no quality problems, no
scratchiness, no gain issues - nothing to indicate a wiring fault anywhere.

Anyone heard of a similar problem?
