number array not working in login_process?

[Skyrider]

I'm currently attempting to gain a specific number from an API and when it matches, moving the user to another usergroup. Now, usually the array has letters in it, but this specific array merely has a simple number.

// Configuration 
$steamRepScamTitles = array( // Dictionary describing the user title that should be set depending on the tag 
    '2' => array(  
        'title' => '<span style="color:darkyellow;font-weight:bold">Trade Banned</span>', 
        'groupid' => 40
    ) 
);  

if(!function_exists("get_steamrep_scamtype"))
{
    function get_steamrep_scamtype($steam_id, $steamRepScamTitles)
    {
        // Fetch SteamRep Data
        $steamRepAPIURL = sprintf("http://steamrep.com/api/beta3/reputation/%s?tagdetails=1&extended=1", $steam_id);
        $steamRepXML =  simplexml_load_file($steamRepAPIURL);

with:

$fullReputation = $steamRepXML->tradeban;

to get the appropriate value in the specified xml table.

^ both plugins code above is only partial of the system, example API that is being used:

http://steamrep.com/api/beta3/reputa...s=1&extended=1

Now. The idea is that the XML tradeban with 'array' 2 is being checked and when matches, user is being moved to another usergroup accordingly. However, it doesn't appear to be working, at all. When I set this system on eg, forumdisplay/forumhome hook.. it works directly and moves the user instantly. But for what ever reason, login_process refuses to work.

The other systems checking the API (with letters as array) works as a charm of which are also in the login_process hook, so I'm rather confused why it's not working at all. At first I thought it was the invalid usergroup movement code, but after some testing.. it appears to be the number in the array of which is not working in the login_process hook.

If anyone can help me with this, greatly appreciated.
