Bash-Completion, installed but not applied
Heyas

For my project TUI i had prepared bash completion.
Bash-completion works, at least if i source that file manualy.

However, when i'm installing it, it wont apply, not even for new opened terminals.
Allthough i had it working once, i dont get why it doesnt work now.

Code:
<...>
+ '[' '!' -d //share/bash-completion ']'
+ '[' -d //share/bash-completion/completions ']'
+ cp -a /home/sea/prjs/tui/compl/tui_compl.bash /share/bash-completion/completions
+ '[' 0 -eq 0 ']'
+ chown 0:0 //share/bash-completion/completions/tui_compl.bash
<...>

0 $ ll /share/bash-completion/completions/tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.1K 23. Apr 2014  /share/bash-completion/completions/tar
0 $ ll /share/bash-completion/completions/tui_compl.bash 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21K 29. Sep 20:29 /share/bash-completion/completions/tui_compl.bash
## This last is in the prj dir
0 $ ll compl/tui_compl.bash 
-rw-r--r-- 1 sea sea 21K 29. Sep 20:29 compl/tui_compl.bash

At first, the file was owned by me as user and didnt work, so i thought the issue was the user, so i've chowned it as root, to no help.
Also, there are tons of other files in the target folder where the script is copied to, so it must be at the right place.
But what am i missing?

Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Also, removing "_compl.bash" has no effect.
It has the same permissions as the other scripts too.

So, in other words:
I wonder why the other bash completion scripts work, but mine not by placing it in that same folder?

gst-complete-0.8

gst-complete-0.8(1)						   User Commands					       gst-complete-0.8(1)

NAME

       gst-complete-0.8, gst-complete - perform bash completion for gst-launch command lines

SYNOPSIS

       complete -Cgst-complete-0.8 gst-launch

       gst-complete [--gst-list-mm] [--gst-mm=string] [--print]

DESCRIPTION

       gst-complete-0.8 enables bash to provide context-sensitive tab completion for gst-launch command lines. See gst-launch(1) for the syntax of
       gst-launch command lines.

       You must have a version of bash that supports programmable completion. Such versions of bash provide the complete built-in command.

       gst-complete is a wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X. For example, if both gst-complete-0.7 and gst-
       complete-0.8 are installed on your system, gst-complete runs gst-complete-0.8.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported by gst-complete-0.8 and gst-complete:

       --help	       Display detailed usage message. You can also use -? to specify this option.

       The following options are supported by gst-complete only:

       --gst-list-mm   List found major/minor versions. This option displays the versions that are available.

       --gst-mm=string Force  major/minor  version.  This  option  enables you to specify a specific version to run, if you do not want to run the
		       default version.

       --print	       Print wrapped command line. This option displays the command that will be run, and then runs the command.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Generating the Registry of Available Plugins by Running gst-compprep

       Run the following command in your .bash_profile or other appropriate place:

       example% complete -C gst-complete-0.8 gst-launch

       Example 2: Running the Wrapper Script and Displaying the Command Name

       example% gst-complete --print
       /usr/bin/gst-complete-0.8

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:

       /usr/bin/gst-complete-0.Executable for bash completion for gst-launch

       /usr/bin/gst-complete   Wrapper script that runs the latest installed version of gst-complete-X.X
