  Hard to troubleshoot without seeing everything. Are you certain that the restriction enzymes have been inactivated as well as they can be, either by heat inactivation and/or phenol/CIAA extraction? BamH1 is sometimes a fussy enzyme; are you certain it cut to completion? And are you fairly certain about the concentration of ends within your ligation reaction? It doesn’t need to be perfect, but should be within an order of magnitude of target. I’m assuming that your competent bacteria are still viable and competent–that is, they are transfectable with a control plasmid of some kind, and that you know your ligase is still in decent shape.

  I think there are some good protocols and troubleshooting you can refer on the topic of molecular cloning over there.
