Cannot Get I2c Working With Eeprom

Hi all
I am struggling to the my 24c02 eeprom talking over i2c. I have a custom board with the eeprom on p1.0/p1.1 pins. The board is high speed (6+ghz cpu speed).
My eeprom has all it's ce lines tied to something, so the address should be 50h. When I run my app, I think the eeprom is being selected as I get no error when I use 50h but get errors on other addresses. So I think my device select is ok but I cannot read/write to the device.
Can all you guru's please see what I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot.
