Sliver Overlord and other controlling cards

I'm having some issues with Sliver Overlord's ability to gain control of slivers. My xml reads as follows:
<activated-ability playable='instant' name='' zone='play'>
<cost>
<pay-mana colorless='3' />
<action ref='target-permanent'>
<test>
<has-property property='sliver'/>
</test>
</action>
</cost>
<effects>
<add-modifier>
<controller-modifier player='you' />
</add-modifier>
</effects>
</activated-ability>
When I target a sliver it moves over to my control but it gains all of it's modifiers again, without having them cleared first. So muscle slivers give +2/+2. And when a new sliver is put in play it gives it's modifier twice.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks,
Crazion
Can give me the complete xml, I'll try to reproduce this error and fix it.
Also if you could send me the deck, it would be easier to reproduce the bug.
Thanks
Sorry for seeming so helpless but I can't seem to find any way to send you the files so I'm just going to paste the text here.
