Oracle Advanced Queuing - Propagation problem - 11g

Question

Hi,
I have a problem when propagation messages between queues. When the message is propagated, it stays on the source queue with READY state.
I have created two queues on 11g with a propagation rule that any message from queue A are sent to queue B. My problem is that the message from the source queue stays in the source queue even after propagation, which isn't what I was expecting. The problem doesn't occur if the queues are on a different database. This problem only happens if the queues are on the same database.
the script I use is this:
For USERB (which has the destination queue)
create type EVENT_MESSAGE as object (
eventsource VARCHAR2(30),
eventname VARCHAR2(255),
eventid NUMBER(19,0),
message CLOB
DECLARE
an_agent sys.aq$_agent;
BEGIN
-- create the publish/subscribe queue table
dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(
queue_table => 'DESTINATION_QUEUE_TABLE',
queue_payload_type=>'EVENT_MESSAGE',
sort_list => 'ENQ_TIME',
message_grouping => DBMS_AQADM.NONE,
multiple_consumers=>true
-- create the queue
dbms_aqadm.create_queue(
queue_name => 'DESTINATION',
queue_table => 'DESTINATION_QUEUE_TABLE',
queue_type => DBMS_AQADM.NORMAL_QUEUE,
max_retries => 5
dbms_aqadm.create_aq_agent(agent_name =>'DEQUEUE_AGENT');
an_agent := sys.aq$_agent('DEQUEUE_AGENT', null, null);
dbms_aqadm.enable_db_access(
agent_name => 'DEQUEUE_AGENT',
db_username => 'USERB'
dbms_aqadm.add_subscriber(
queue_name => 'DESTINATION',
subscriber => an_agent,
queue_to_queue => FALSE,
delivery_mode => DBMS_AQADM.PERSISTENT
-- start the queues
dbms_aqadm.start_queue('DESTINATION');
END;
For USERA
create type EVENT_MESSAGE as object (
eventsource VARCHAR2(30),
eventname VARCHAR2(255),
eventid NUMBER(19,0),
message CLOB
BEGIN
-- create the publish/subscribe queue table
dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(
queue_table => 'SOURCE_QUEUE_TABLE',
queue_payload_type=>'EVENT_MESSAGE',
sort_list => 'ENQ_TIME',
message_grouping => DBMS_AQADM.NONE,
multiple_consumers=>true
-- create the queue
dbms_aqadm.create_queue(
queue_name => 'SOURCE',
queue_table => 'SOURCE_QUEUE_TABLE',
queue_type => DBMS_AQADM.NORMAL_QUEUE,
max_retries => 5
-- start the queues
dbms_aqadm.start_queue('SOURCE');
-- create the propagation
dbms_aqadm.add_subscriber(queue_name => 'SOURCE',
subscriber => sys.aq$_agent('DEQUEUE_AGENT','USERB.DESTINATION',null),
queue_to_queue => true);
dbms_aqadm.schedule_propagation(queue_name => 'SOURCE',
start_time => sysdate,
latency => 25,
destination_queue => 'USERB.DESTINATION');
END;
When I enqueue a message to the source on USERA with this:
declare
rc binary_integer;
nq_opt dbms_aq.enqueue_options_t;
nq_pro dbms_aq.message_properties_t;
datas EVENT_MESSAGE;
msgid raw(16);
begin
nq_pro.expiration := dbms_aq.never;
nq_pro.sender_id := sys.aq$_agent('ENQUEUE_AGENT', null, null);
datas := AGEAS_EVENT_MESSAGE('message','eventname',1,null);
dbms_aq.enqueue('SOURCE',nq_opt,nq_pro,datas,msgid);
end;
The message is propagated to the destination queue, no problem, but the message state on the source queue is kept as ready. I would have expected it to be marked as processed and disappear from the queue table.
When I look at the AQ$_SOURCE_QUEUE_TABLE_S the I see these records:
     QUEUE_NAME     NAME     ADDRESS     PROTOCOL      SUBSCRIBER TYPE
     SOURCE     (null)     "USERB"."DESTINATION"@AQ$_LOCAL     0     1736
     SOURCE     DEQUEUE_AGENT     "USERB"."DESTINATION"     0     577
Can anyone help?
