Put driveshaft on and also put on axle nut,but still doesn't move

[mkii_84 at yahoo.com (Andrew Wong)]

What I was doing was replacing my old driveshaft with
a new remanufactured one just so I could drive it
around again.  The problem is while, I installed the
driveshaft(I tightened the triple square bolts) and
used my breaker bar for the axle nut for the outer CV
area, when I tried to drive it, it would not move with
the new driveshaft and would make some noises comming
from the inner CV, while in gear, I let the car run
since it did not stall and looked at the driveshaft,
it was spinning like it was wobbling.  The axle nut
was not spinning at all.
