[ZDoom] Crushing Actors?

to make enemy corpses gib-able, I'm having a new actor spawned on the death of an enemy. I seem to be having 2 problems with this.

First of all, the newly spawned corpse doesnt seem to want to be crushed by doors, etc. It has a crush state, and it worked when it was part of the monster.

Secondly, the newly spawned actor doesn't seem to want to take the old actor's translation (see the code below) does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Actor TheDude {
      States{
      Death:
             DUDE I 4 A_Gravity
	     DUDE J 4 A_Scream
	     DUDE K 4 A_NoBlocking
	     DUDE L 4
             TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItemEx("Dead_Dude1", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,0,SXF_TRANSFERTRANSLATION)
	     Stop
   }
}

//The Spawned dead guy
ACTOR Dead_Dude1{
   Health          10
   Radius           16
   Height           16
   Mass            10
     +CORPSE
     +DROPOFF
     -NOLIFTDROP
     -NOBLOCKMAP
     -Solid
     +FLOORCLIP
     +SHOOTABLE
   States {
   Spawn:
           DUDE M 1
           Loop
   Death:
           TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("Gibs_Spawner")
           Stop
   Crush:
           TNT1 A 0 A_PlaySound ("misc/gibbed")
           TNT1 A 0 A_SpawnItem("Gibs_Spawner")
           Stop
   }
}

whohoo, I just found the hackiest solution to this problem ....
