Al, I believe you may have inadvertantly turned ON the "Registration Sequence" feature. When "Registration Sequence" is ENABLED, and Regist seq +/- advance settings are assigned to the same footswitch pedal you assigned sustain to, the sustain function is ignored, as "Registration Sequence" footpedal assignments 'take precedence' over standard footpedal assignments, of which are set in the the: Function > Controller > Footpedal Window.

To eliminate this problem, I suggest assigning "Registration Sequence" Reg+ amd Reg- to another foot pedal than the one you have assigned for sustain, or simply turning off the "Registration Sequence" feature:

Function > Regist Sequence/Freeze/Voice Set > Regist Sequence Tab

This should SOLVE your problem.
