Drupal session cookie is in the form:
 session_name = session_id
e.g.
SESSc4f381f0375dba8f9670647c311307a9=b051bb99415e65d3d921f7891f3ca91f

The session_name is either
 session_name('SESS' . md5($cookie_domain))
from your settings file or
 session_name('SESS' . md5(explode('://', $base_url, 2)))
see
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--bootstrap.inc/function/conf_init/6

Your regex was only getting the session_name and not the session_id
