what's up with my plate resistor

Hi,
I implemented a VR tube screen regulator on my SV83 driver circuit, based on some replies to my questions earlier this week.

I also decided to try out battery bias and soldered together 2 cells for 3V.
All my voltages seem to measure out okay, except the plate voltage which doesn't seem to drop at all from B+. Also, my tube amp now makes no music :). I know the output tubes work, .. and by adjusting the hum pot, can get them to hum but i wonder what i've done to my driver circuit.

cathode voltage 3V
screen voltage 153V
plate voltage = B+ = 295V ?????

Thanks for any advice.
