Issue with custom meta boxes.

I'm having a wierd issue with my custom meta boxes. They appear correctly on posts and on custom page templates. But, on the default page template they will load when you create a new page. After you hit publish or save the meta boxes dissappear.

This is the Meta Class

class ARIXWP_Meta {
    
    private $meta     = null;
    public $postid    = null;
    private $template = null;
    
    function __construct() {
        add_action('save_post',array(&$this, 'save_meta_data'));
    }
    
    function __destruct() {
        $this->meta     = null;
        $this->postid   = null;
        $this->template = null;
    }
    
    public function init_meta() {
        add_action('admin_init',array(&$this, 'add_meta'));
    }
    
    public function add_meta() {
        if ($this->meta['template'] == $this->template) {
            add_meta_box($this->meta['id'], $this->meta['title'],  array(&$this, 'format_meta'), $this->meta['post_type'],  $this->meta['context'], $this->meta['priority']);    
        }
    }
    
    public function format_meta() {
        global $post;
        
        if (!isset($post)) return false;
        
        if ($this->meta['post_type'] != $post->post_type) return false;
        
        $this->set_postid($post->ID);
        
        // Use nonce for verification
        echo '<input type="hidden" name="' .  $this->meta['nonce_name'] . '" value="',  wp_create_nonce(basename(__FILE__)), '" />';
        
        foreach ($this->meta['fields'] as $field) {
            // get current post meta data
            $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $field['id'], true);

This is how i am calling the meta boxes:

    $meta_posttype = 'page';

    $meta_context  = 'normal';
    $meta_priority = 'high';
    $meta_id       = 'page-meta';
    $meta_nonce    = $meta_id . '-nonce';
    $arixwp_meta       = new ARIXWP_Meta();
    
    $arixwp_meta->set_postId();
    $arixwp_meta->set_template();
    $arixwp_template  = $arixwp_meta->get_template();
    
    if ($arixwp_template == $meta_template) {
        $arixwp_meta->set_meta(array(
           
            //This is the id applied to the meta box
            'id'         => $meta_id,

If i switch the $meta_posttype to post or leave it as page and set the $meta_template it works fine. Please help I am totally stumped.
