Skating Bots, Help!!!!

I have a Bot that is NOT based on the player shape. I use the "aiSpawnPlayer()" method to place the Bot. Everything works just great except the 'run' animation does not play when the Bot moves. The documentation says that the 'Run' animation sequence of the DTS file is the default and the "setActionThread()" method is overridden. I have tried moving the Bots with and without the "setActionThread()" with the same results, the Bot moves but stays with the same animation sequence that was selected before movement started. Any idea on what needs to be changed?

Here is how I setup my Bot movement.
=============================================================

$Bot[%index].setMoveSpeed(0.25);
// Get player object transform
%transform = $Bot[%Index].getTransform();
%posX = getWord(%transform, 0);
%posY = getWord(%transform, 1);
%posZ = getWord(%transform, 2);

%newxy =  getRandom(-10, 10);

if(getRandom() <= 0.5)
    %posX +=  %newxy;
else
    %posY += %newxy;

%new_pos = %posX SPC %posY SPC %posZ;
                      $Bot[%index].setAimLocation(%new_pos);
                      $Bot[%index].setMoveDestination (%new_pos);
