Problems Creating New Brushes

Hi, I'm new to gimp and even newer to the group. Can not login to the gimp site anymore and so I'm really grateful for this forum. I'm trying to create new brushes. I've created a brush image i want to export to a brush. I export it to a gbr in the correct directory and then refresh the brushes. Nothing ever shows up in the brush listing. I am using Windows 7 and Gimp 2.8. What am I missing? I am using the following folder to export my new brush creations:

C:\users\myusername\gimp-2.8\brushes as specified in my gimp folder preferences for brushes.

I've tried the other folder as well: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\brushes

No luck with either. I've started both with an XCF and a JPG and neither is showing up. I've restarted gimp, rebooted but no matter what I do the new gbr files don't show up in the gimp brushes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll attach one of the gbr files.

Thanks very much!

The brushes work for me... But since you didn't give them a description, they appear in the list as "Gimp Brush" and "Gimp Brush Pipe" and not under the file names... So maybe you are just not looking for them at the right place. "View as list" allows you to check for names....
