Maybe coz ur spelling it wrong Razz
on a serious note are doing these with back arched too much?
another reason could be that you are bending your knees too much and not hitting your hamstrings ?
there is a good article by Mike robertson on RDL here:

My advice would be to do single leg RDL with dumbbells they are great single leg exercise and will work more hamstrings with less stress on lower back.
