PHP Curl - Session has expired

I'm trying to login to a remote site using CURL but I just keep getting the error message your session has expired, please re-login.

$username="xxxxxx"; 
$password="yyyyyyyy"; 
$url="https://remotesite.com/my.activation.php3"; 
$cookie="cookie.txt"; 

$postdata = "username=".$username."&password=".$password; 

$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6"); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookie); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url); 

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 

// check for errors before close
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;
curl_close($ch);

The cookie file is writeable and something is getting written to it. Any ideas what I can try to keep the session going?

Make sure you're using the correct option for CURLOPT_COOKIE*.

CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR - The name of a file to save all internal cookies to when the handle is closed, e.g. after a call to curl_close.

CURLOPT_COOKIE - The contents of the "Cookie: " header to be used in the HTTP request. Note that multiple cookies are separated with a semicolon followed by a space (e.g., "fruit=apple; colour=red")

CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE - The name of the file containing the cookie data. The cookie file can be in Netscape format, or just plain HTTP-style headers dumped into a file. If the name is an empty string, no cookies are loaded, but cookie handling is still enabled.

Additionally, enabling CURLOPT_VERBOSE may be of assistance when debugging cURL.
