Either you did not hash your test password properly or your mask is not matching your password. It's always a good idea to include an hash with a known value to make sure that everything is set properly. Post your command line so that we can understand what is going on.

It is actually as posted above, but with -m 1000 instead. So what I am looking at is:

oclhashcat64.exe -m 1000 ha.hash -a 3

Atm I am trying to figure out how to change the mask...

just add "?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a" to the end of that command.
