CGTalk - Twisting Ribbon

I have a ribbon flying along a path, but I need to be able to control the twisting better. I've placed 7 dummies along the rig to control the Twist, the first two work exactly as I want but because of the way I have parented it the 3rd dummy is affecting bones further down. I think you'll have to look at the file to understand what I'm trying to do, if anyone can help fix this or come up with a totally different solution that would be great.

I can't look at your rig (at work/on Linux/ no Wipzip) so can't see what you have done.

What I would have done is for each line of vertices I would create a cluster with center (null). That way you can animate each null independantly and not effect the ones on either side.
