CNAME issue with Register.com

I did a search for register.com in this forum and only three hits came up, none of which helped solve my problem.
Also, the screenshots from the custom hostname instruction page for Register.com are outdated. Their website UI has changed, so the steps are no longer valid.
Here's what my web site forwarding page displays:
MY SERVICES :: WEB SITE FORWARDING
YOU ARE MANAGING:
coolbeansphotography.com :: Basic Web Site Forwarding
coolbeansphotography.com points to http://www.smugmug.com
www.coolbeansphotography.com points to http://www.smugmug.com
And on my control panel I have:
domain: www.coolbeansphotography.com | change
It seems that I have everything correct, but it's been six days and both urls are only going to the main smugmug.com site, but not the www.coolbeansphotography.smugmug.com site. NOTE: Register.com is automatically adding the http:// in front of www.smugmug.com, so I'm following the directions exactly...
Any suggestions?

I assumed that the web site forwarding was their layman's term for CNAME, which was incorrect. I wonder if I should disable their Web Site Forwarding service, then? It seems like it's redundant if both are enabled...
Thoughts?
