Sharepoint workflow not starting after item added event handler

Hi,

My workflow is not being triggered after an item is added to my list.  I have tried debugging and it appears the workflowguid which I obtain from the SharePoint designer list workflow does not match the association baseid at any time.  I am not quite sure why this happens.  This is a sample of my code below.  Any help would be gladly appreciated.  I have already looked at the other articles and I was not able to solve my problem.  What I am trying to accomplish is to simple trigger a SharePoint designer workflow programmatically through an even receiver list item added.  But this never appears to be true:     if (association.BaseId == workflowGuid)

public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
       {
           base.ItemAdded(properties);
           startWF(properties);
       }

       private void startWF(SPItemEventProperties properties)
       {
           try
           {
               //bool startWF = false;
               string strWorkflowID = "c66ff94f-ba7c-4495-82fe-e73cdd18bad9";
               //string statusVal = properties.AfterProperties["eRequest Division"].ToString();
               SPListItem li = properties.ListItem;
               using (SPWeb web = li.Web)
               {
                   using (SPSite site = web.Site)
                   {
                       SPWorkflowManager mgr = site.WorkflowManager;
                       SPList parentList = li.ParentList;
                       SPWorkflowAssociationCollection associationCollection = parentList.WorkflowAssociations;
                       LookUpAndStart(li, mgr, associationCollection, "c66ff94f-ba7c-4495-82fe-e73cdd18bad9");
                   }

               }

           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {

           }
       }

       private static void LookUpAndStart(SPListItem listItem, SPWorkflowManager mgr, SPWorkflowAssociationCollection associationCollection, string workflowID)
       {
          
           foreach (SPWorkflowAssociation association in associationCollection)
           {
               Guid workflowGuid = new Guid(workflowID);
               //if (association.Name.ToLower().Equals(workflowGuid))
              //if (association.BaseId == workflowGuid)
               //if (association.BaseId.ToString("B").Equals(workflowGuid))
               if (association.BaseId == workflowGuid)
               {
                   string data = association.AssociationData;
                   SPWorkflow wf = mgr.StartWorkflow(listItem, association, data, true);
                   break;
               }
           }
       }
    }
}
