vanishing building

I tried modding the GDI barracks to replace itself with an upgraded version. Trouble is, when I upgrade it, it deletes itself.

Code:

<ReplaceSelfUpgrade
<id="ModuleTag_ReplaceBarracks"
<NewObjectUnpackTime>
<TriggeredBy>Upgrade_GDIArmoryRailgunTech</TriggeredBy>
<ReplacementTemplate>GDIBarracksUpgr</ReplacementTemplate>
</ReplaceSelfUpgrade>

This is the code I'm trying to use. And I know it works, because I was able to get the barracks to replace itself with the Armory. Any one got an idea on how to fix this?

Either the upgraded barracks is broken/missing or you might have made a typo in its ID.

I just checked, and I couldn't spot any typos. The file I'm using for this is a copy of the file for the original barracks. And I don't know if this is important or not, but if I set the unpack time to more than 0 seconds, the barracks just sits there and doesn't upgrade. (well, it might upgrade itself, but the special ability doesn't kick in)

Edit: if you want, I can upload the xml files for you to look at.
