I can't get this to work :(

I have this, based on the example above:

#+name: tsd-continuation-strings
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun my-personal-table-continuation-strings (row backend info)
    (when (org-export-derived-backend-p 'latex)
      (replace-regexp-in-string
       "multicolumn{[0-9]+}{l}{\\(.*\\)}" "\\ldots\\ continued from previous 
page"
       row nil nil 1)
       (replace-regexp-in-string
        "multicolumn{[0-9]+}{r}{\\(.*\\)}" "continued on next page \\ldots"
       row nil nil 1)))
  (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-table-row-functions
               'my-personal-table-continuation-strings)
#+end_src

I also tried 'org-export-filter-table-functions without success.  I
always get the default continuation strings.  I've looked around for an
error message, but there doesn't appear to be one, at least that I can
find. The asynchronous export runs through to completion.

All the best,
Tom
