Action on parent node of comment not firing. [#1482060]

I have custom content type: Issue, which contains an email field
I am trying to create a Rule to email a user identified in the Issue node, when a comment is added to an Issue. I have tried:
Event: After saving a new comment
Condition: Content is of Type ( i want to test if the parent node is an Issue)
Content: [comment:parent:node], Content types: Issue
Action: Show messsage (to test)

This does not ever fire the Action. I also want to be able to get the parent node (Issue), get the email field, and send an email, but didn't get to this as the basic test of firing a message didn't work.

Have you enabled rules debugging (on settings page)?
what does that tell you?
Also try creating the rule with our original condition negated.
One of them must show you a message.
Then it is a simple matter of sticking some variables in your messages and working from there.
