Look at the IIC lines and see whether the address byte is getting out
there right.  The easiest way to do this is to put the code in a loop
where it does start, send address byte, wait a little.  That should allow
you to see the what is going on with an ordinary oscilloscope.  Then
you'll know whether the transmitter or the receiver is at fault.  Of
course if you have a logic analyzer, you can just use it directly.  Do you
have the ICE-2000?  It comes with 8 bits of logic analyzer that is
suitable for this purpose.
