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?

LIBBASH(7)							  libbash Manual							LIBBASH(7)

NAME

     libbash -- A bash shared libraries package.

DESCRIPTION

     libbash  is  a package that enables bash dynamic-like shared libraries. Actually its a tool for managing bash scripts whose functions you may
     want to load and use in scripts of your own.

     It contains a 'dynamic loader' for the shared libraries ( ldbash(1)), a configuration tool (ldbashconfig(8)), and some libraries.

     Using ldbash(1) you are able to load loadable bash libraries, such as getopts(1) and hashstash(1).  A bash shared library that can be  loaded
     using
     ldbash(1) must answer 4 requirments:

     1.     It must be installed in $LIBBASH_PREFIX/lib/bash (default is /usr/lib/bash).

     2.     It must contain a line that begins with '#EXPORT='.  That line will contain (after the '=') a list of functions that the library
	    exports.  I.e. all the function that will be usable after loading that library will be listed in that line.

     3.     It must contain a line that begins with '#REQUIRE='.  That line will contain (after the '=') a list of bash libraries that are
	    required for our library.  I.e. every bash library that is in use in our bash library must be listed there.

     4.     The library must be listed (For more information, see ldbashconfig(8)).

   Basic guidelines for writing library of your own:
     1.     Be aware, that your library will be actually sourced. So, basically, it should contain (i.e define) only functions.

     2.     Try to declare all variables intended for internal use as local.

     3.     Global variables and functions that are intended for internal use (i.e are not defined in '#EXPORT=') should begin with:
		  __<library_name>_
	    For example, internal function myfoosort of hashstash library should be named as
		  __hashstash_myfoosort
	    This helps to avoid conflicts in global name space when using libraries that come from different vendors.

     4.     See html manual for full version of this guide.
