Need help with a save action

Two questions, any idea why this wouldn’t be saving properly. And, as an aside I have some debug data being emailed to myself, however, I keep getting emails that start with “no nonce or…” or “xxx <– the time”, how is it possible that something isn’t getting placed in front of the “xxx <– the time”

add_action('save_post', 'sagecalendar_save_post');
function sagecalendar_save_post($post_id){

	// verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization,
	// because save_post can be triggered at other times

	$mailmessage = time()."<--the time \r\n  POST VALS \r\n ".print_r($_POST, true). "\r\n";

	if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['sagecal_nonce'], plugin_basename(__FILE__) )) {
		$mailmessage = "No nonce or nonce failed value" . $_POST['sagecal_nonce'] ."\r\n". $mailmessage;
		sagecal_sendmail($mailmessage); //just mailing myself values from this trying to figure out whats up
		return $post_id;
	}

	if ('post' == $_POST['post_type']) {
		if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post_id ))
		$mailmessage =  "adfsadfasdfsafsadfsafasddfasafsdafascan't edit \r\n ". $_POST['sagecal_nonce'] ."\r\n". $mailmessage;
		sagecal_sendmail($mailmessage);
		return $post_id;
	}

	// OK, we're authenticated: we need to find and save the data
	if (!isset($_POST['sagecal_add_event'])){
		$mailmessage = "fas fasd ddf asdas fsa fsa fassagecal_add_event not set \r\n " . $_POST['sagecal_nonce'] ."\r\n" . $mailmessage;
		sagecal_sendmail($mailmessage);
		//post not included only save include status
		if(!update_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_add_event', "0", true)){
			add_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_add_event', "0", true);
		}
	}
	else{
			$mailmessage = "fasdf asdf saddfa sdf asdf sfdupdating \r\n " . $_POST['sagecal_nonce'] ."\r\n".$mailmessage;
			sagecal_sendmail($mailmessage);
			//post is to be included save all data
			if(!update_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_add_event', "1", true)){
				add_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_add_event', "1", true);
			}

			// building save data array
			$sc_data_arr = array();

			$sc_date = $_POST['sagecal_date_month'] . "/" . $_POST['sagecal_date_day'] . "/" . $_POST['sagecal_date_year'];
			$sc_data_arr['date'] = $sc_date;

			$sc_time = $_POST['sagecal_time_hour'] . ":" . $_POST['sagecal_time_minute'] . " " . $_POST['sagecal_time_am'];
			$sc_data_arr['time'] = $sc_time;

			$sc_data_arr['recurrence'] = $_POST['sagecal_recurrence'];

			$sc_rdays = array();
			$sc_rdays = $_POST['sagecal_days'];
			$sc_data_arr['days'] = $sc_rdays;
			//$sc_data_arr['datain'] = print_r($_POST, true);

			//$sagecal_data = serialize($sc_data_arr);

			if(!update_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_event_data', $sagecal_data, true)){
			add_post_meta($post_id, '_sagecal_event_data', $sagecal_data, true);
			}
		}
