Problems trying to configure three FPGAS using the EPC16

The aim of this thread is to request help from you guys because I have a problem trying to make a .pof file which is driving me crazy.

I am working on a card which has three FPGA (each one running different configuration files), I produced the .sof files and I successfully tested programing the FPGA using a jtag cable.

Now I would like to create a .pof file (for keeping the new FPGA personality in the non-volatile flash, in this case an EPC16), here is where my problem starts...

Using the "convert programming files" tool I produced a .pof file from the three .sof files (one for each FPGA) but for a reason which I cannot understand the FPGAs are not programed (done line does not go high) when I power cycle the card.

Do you have a clue, suggestion or hint which allows me to get rid of this problem and finally produce a working pof for the EPC16?

Your help will be more than welcome!

some extra data:

The three FPGA should be programmed using the 1-bit passive serial mode

I am using Quartuss II, Version 11.0

attached you will find some screen captures that shows how I am using the "convert programming file" tool.
