Your approach seems fine in principle. Perhaps something is awry with the
initialpose message you're sending. Are you sure that its in the right
frame? (You probably want "map") Can you rostopic echo initialpose when you
send it and post the output? You might also want to echo it when you set the
pose from rviz and check to see if there are any obvious differences.

Hope this helps,

Eitan
