The basic format of the shipping table is ( -> = TAB):

mode -> description -> criteria -> min -> max -> cost/calc/lookup

...and as far as I know this has not changed since the Minivend days, 
though many other options have been added to the right side. Based on this, 
your format above is in error. The 0/1 immediately after 'weight' is 
extraneous and is probably the think that breaks the calculation.
