I've used Google AdSense before... I can explain what is happening...

To put AdSense Ads on one of your pages you copy some javascript that
Google gives you on to your page. This will send the url that is in the 
address
bar of your browser to Google to determine what ads to show. Google will
then match the URL (from your browser address bar) with what it's spider
had previously found. The URL passed to Google has a sessionid in it. The
URL that the spider found previously does not. Because they do not match
Google will not show real ads.

I've not done it but my solution would be to modify the javascript you 
put on
your page to filter out sessionids before you pass it to Google... this 
should fix
the problem in my opinion.
