this is different from what you said the last time. The last time you

which implied that the layer appeared when the FILTERs were turned off.

In any case, start troubleshooting step by step. Forget about the
filters.... comment them out.... just the plain old line layer.


Does the layer appear? If not, check your path settings. Assuming other
layers appear, use that as a guide to make sure all your path settings are
correct.

If the layer appears, check to see if you are FILTERing against the correct
attribute, and using values that exist. Watch for capitalization, spaces,
etc.
