One thing jumps out at me - new server.
Compare all session-related php.ini values as a first step. There is a lot
that controls the behavior of sessions that lies outside of your code.

You should also write a small test script for debugging. The problem might
very well be buried underneath complexities in your code. As an example:
<?
session_start()
if (!isset($_SESSION['foo']))
{
$_SESSION['foo'] = 0;
}
else
{
$_SESSION['foo']++;
}
echo "<p>Previous visits: {$_SESSION['foo']}</p>";
?>
Hope that helps.
