Stumped - simple relation insert not working ..

Greetings, I have a games entity and a players entity and previously added relationships between players and games. Attempting to add the players to another game , says success, but relationships are not created?! What am I doing wrong? This is a cloud database and Auto commit is on.

Thanks, Mark
