bi-railing from curve profiles

Hello,

I am an absolute newbie, as they say. I am trying to model a human head using the EP curve tool, and then bi-railing the profiles to create NURBS surfaces.

I started by making curves which follow the two profiles of a head (from front and side images). I've now got my profiles done... (I've "attached" the .mb file to this post.)

I want to start creating surfaces by bi-railing. So I select the bi-rail-2 tool, and the select two profiles (curves) and it tells me to select to "rails" which I do, and yet I still don't get a NURBS surface!

Sorry for my vagueness! This is essentially my first Maya model. I'd really appreciate any help with this. I really have no idea why it's not generating NURBS surfaces for me...

Cheers,
Simon

Edit: when I run the tool it gives me this message in the box at the bottom of the screen:

Result: dspBirailSurface17 dpBirailSrf17

I have no idea what that means... Thanks.
