Don't you think it would be useful to start puts_lcd() in a definite and known 
state of the display? Just to confirm that the problem is not the address?
And then try the ABCDE loop, keeping in mind the auto-incrementing and being 
prepared to write in the 40 characters RAM, whatever the number of characters 
physically displayed, and to see only the 1st and 41st characters appear on 
the first location in the display line?
I would do it with a number of characters which 40 would not a multiple of.
