lofting CV curves

Hey-
I'm still just a newbie here, but I purchased the Maya 4.5 Handbook and have been working my way through it this weekend. I got to this part where you have built a basic structure and now are making a CV curve that is an interior wall with some openings. You then duplicate the curve, move it slightly, select both curves and loft them. This basically should make the underparts of the wall (you then go back select the curves and use the Planar Trim command to make each side of the wall). My problem is that when i loft the two curves initially (any yes, I have reset the tool options for lofting like the book asks) the lofted curve is shot to the front of the structure (the two curves are in the middle of the structure) and doesn't make the underpart of the wall...its just a curve it seems. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I know this is a lot to swallow and probably a bit confusing, but does anyone have any help for me?
