I don't think that you're doing anything wrong - it's just a quirk of the API - you don't get any info in your home timeline on stuff you retweeted.
I think this is because of the condition that you should never see a retweet if you would have seen it already in your timeline. This stops you from seeing the latest popular tweet retweeted 100 times from each of your followers if you follow the person who originally tweeted it. However, I guess it also stops you seeing that you have retweeted a tweet, as theoretically you've already seen it. I think I've made that more complicated than it actually is... The only thing that you can do is to get the Home Timeline and then merge retweets_of_me in over the top.
