alfresco.log is your friend. Look at the logs and see where the ERROR messages are. This will point you in the right direction.
If you see: "Failed to execute supplied script: ReferenceError: "bpm_assignee" is not defined. (AlfrescoScript#1)" that could mean that either the task name was changed, or you had a plain old node instead of a task-node. I've had this happen to me before too.
Ecmarchitect.com has a nice article on advanced workflows. Read the part where it says "Connections between nodes signify the transition from one step to another…" Then you will understand how transitions work.
