A logical (EE's need this quality) analysis of your problem arrives at 
these facts:

1) D0-D7 are working (enough) as an instruction has been processed
2) lcd enable must be working as an instruction has been processed (so 
you say)
3) RS is certainly low to interpret an instruction

Conclusion-
1) RS could be stuck low or you are not allowing enough setup time 
before enable
    Data setup time =>195ns
    RS setup time => 60ns  (you can't just combine this with the enable 
signal)

2) You are not following the proper initialisation steps which are (for 
8-bit)
    1. wait 15ms after VCC rises to 4.5V
    2. Write instruction 30h      ;8-bit interface
    3. wait more than 4.1ms
    4. Write instruction 30h      ;mmmm, better make sure it's set to 8-bit
    5. wait more than 100us
    6. Write instruction 30h      ;do it again! (should be right now)
       + wait 40us                ; R/W tied low - assume max timeout
    7. Write instruction 38h      ;8-bit interface, 2 lines
       + wait 40us
    8. Write instruction 0Fh      ;display on, cursor and blinking (for 
test)
       + wait 40us
    9. Write instruction 01h      ;clear display
       + wait up to 5ms           ;!!! this is as fast as it will go
    10. Write instruction 06h     ;standard entry mode
       + wait 40us
    11. Write data + wait 40us etc
