You should narrow the problem first.
One of 3 things happen:
1) Wait is not passed. To test this, add after Wait this line: + I Beep
2) Next returns nothing. To test this, write: + I Next ("W2000*") Beep
3) Move is not working on this window for some reason
You can use other than Beep test command, like: Exec xmessage "Passed 1".
If [1] - the problem may be in resource names at the window creation time.
As a side note, the Wait syntax you use (quotes) is only valid after 2.3.16.
If Wait is not passed, use Ctrl-Alt-Escape to abort Wait.
If [2] - try the following: Next (Wfica, CirculateHit) Beep
If [3] - can you move this window at all using Move command (bound to a
key/menu)? If no, this window probably has "Override redirection?: Yes"
as seen in `xwininfo -all`. In this case the problem is in a window.
