tcsh problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem getting my terminal history working, I have the following set in my .cshrc file:

set history=40
set savehist=40
set histfile=~/.tcsh_history

but NO information is being wrote to tcsh_history???


Info:
OS - FC14
-rw------- tcsh_history
Shell: /bin/tcsh

Thanks,
Mike
