Rules - Parent entity not rolling up from base calcs

Question

What's the problem: Parent Entity member is calculating with a number for a certain account, even though I've specifically excluded this from happening in my rule. I don't want the parent entity to calculate
What should happen: Parent Entity member should just add up the result of its children for that account
Hi guys,
I have a calculation that is designed to specifically run at base entity level only. So I'm expecting that the parent result for a certain account should just be the addition of the results in its child entity members for that account
You can see from the code snippet below that I'm running the statements only when they're enclosed by the vIsBaseEntity conditional statement.
I want to get the required number, a simple A-B calc which looks at the change from prior year (but flips the sign if it's an equity account) into the SBS_MOVE custom 1 member.
If vIsBaseEntity then
     For Each vBSMoveAcct in HS.Account.List("","CalcBSMovementAccounts")
          If HS.Account.UD2(vBSMoveAcct) = "Equity" Then
     HS.Exp "A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".C1#SBS_MOVE." & All_NONES_XC1C2C4 & " = A#" & vBSMoveAcct & "." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4 & " - A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".Y#Prior.P#Last." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4
          Else
          'Standard Calculation
          'C1#SBS_MOVE = Prior Year End Amount - Current Period Balance Sheet Amount
          HS.Exp "A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".C1#SBS_MOVE." & All_NONES_XC1C2C4 & " = A#" & vBSMoveAcct & ".Y#Prior.P#Last." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4 & " - A#" & vBSMoveAcct &"." & ALL_TOPS_XC2C4
          End If
     Next
end if     
However what actually happens is that whilst the base entities do calc, as specified in the rule, the parent entity does as well for a few accounts, even though that's not specified anywhere in my rule (or in my rules file anywhere else)
The parent entity for a certain account (Pl reserves), instead of giving me the result of (Current Year YTD minus Prior Year YTD), just gives me the result of Current Yr YTD, or just the A part of the A-B.
The above code is the only place where SBS_MOVE calculates.
I've tried to use a HS.Clear to clear that parent intersection first but to no avail.
So the intersection doesn't have any erroneous data left in it, it actively calculates a result for that parent member when I've specifically told it not to! Why???
Please help!
Thanks,
Sal

To expand a little on this for newbies who may look for this problem:
The aggregation operator never aggregate means that nowhere in your application will any intersection containing this member aggregate so if this is your problem the symptoms will be:
1. Dynamic Calc doesn't work.
2. Any aggregation scripts that are aggregating on intersections with that member will not work
eg. for example you have a member "no project" and you set it to never aggregate, then any parents in any dimension where they intersect with "no project" will fail to show data, whether they be dynamic calc or you are running a script.
If you have months or quarters the easiest way to see this is that suddenly the automated sums on the forms where you are using your "no project" member stop working so that your period data doesn't roll up into quarter or year.
