Do you have the Google Toolbar running? A Google search on 'onunload ie6' came up with the following page that implies the onunload event is broken in IE6 when you have the Google Toolbar:
http://www.michaelteper.com/archive/2004/04/28/163.aspx
Maybe the onunload event is being invoked before the page unloads. As a quick test, remove the onunload code from the <body> tag, and see if you still have a problem communicating with the LMS. If you can communicate with the LMS then, it would indicate the problem isn't with Xerte. You could also try using Firefox with the onunload code in the <body> tag, and see if it has the same problem. It could be that the problem only exists with a particular browser version, and only if you have the Google Toolbar.
