Item turn-ins for new quest system: are they broken?

[killspree]

I've worked on some quests using the new system and I love it. Very flexible compared to the old way of things, BUT, I can't get item turn-ins to work. Are they broken or am I just coding it wrong?

EVENT_SAY {
if ($1 == "Hail") { say("Well met. If you're looking for work - I may have a few tasks for you.") }
if ($1- =~ "work") { say("Hmm lets see here. Rats have been infesting the cities outer gates lately. If you could return to me with four furs to prove you've worked on exterminating them I would gladly reward you.") summonitem(1156) }
}

EVENT_ITEM {
if ($item1 == "1157") { say("Nice work! Here is some coin for your troubles.") }
}

Any help is appreciated.
