[nsp] BGP as-path help

We currently have 3 upstream T1's. 1 with UUNET and 2 with Sprint. Right now
our UUNET T1(incoming traffic) is maxing out at 97% at night while our
Sprint T1's are at about 40% (incoming traffic).

I was trying to prepend our AS path to our announcements goint to UUNet to
hopefully even things out but for some reason when doing this, all of our
routes thru UUNET disappeared most likely to a misconfiguration on my part
(I am a BGP newbie). I have since taken our the route-map statement and
routes thru UUNET are visible again thru the DIGEX looking glass.

Here are my UUnet neighbor statements:
neighbor 137.39.2.108 remote-as 701
neighbor 137.39.2.108 ebgp-multihop 2
neighbor 137.39.2.108 update-source FastEthernet0/0
neighbor 137.39.2.108 next-hop-self
neighbor 137.39.2.108 route-map SETPATH out
neighbor 137.39.2.108 filter-list 10 out

ip as-path access-list 10 permit ^$

access-list 1 permit 0.0.0.0

route-map SETPATH permit 10
 match ip address 1
 set as-path prepend 13638 13638

I have also tried it as such:
route-map SETPATH permit 10
  match as-path 10
  set as-path prepend 13638 13638

Anyone got any ideas? BTW I am doing a clear ip bgp 137.39.2.108 after the
changes are complete. :)
