your cog errors are strange...it can't work accidentally, either it does, or it does not.
Basically, you hit F7, click on add cog, choose the cog, fill in the fields and finally hit refresh. If it doesn't work after this procedure, you have either put in wrong values in the fields, or you forgot to configure eventual values on your things (e.g. elevators, doors, which need thingflags, a numframes field and the actual frames as vector fields)...
if your level isn't fo mots, you could send me the .jed, the cogs (if nonstandard) and an exact description of each step you were doing...
ladder cogs are meant to work with ladders (3dos). They propel the player upwards when he hits activate on the ladder (and holds it in some cases)...
