In general you need to be more concious of the register bank setting.  I
noticed you did set bank 1 at one point, but you need to make sure the bank
is correct for all the SFRs except the few that are mapped accross banks
(like INTCON, INDF, etc).

I like to do this with macros that set the bank approriately given a memory
address.  That eliminates errors manually setting RP0 and RP1.
