Check these few things about the retriever.

1. What tubes are you using are you using BuildCraft pipes or RP2 tubes(either pneumatic or redstone will work).

2. is the retriever powered by blutricity (connected to solarpanels,charged batteryboxes from rp2 or a thermopile).

3. Does the retreiver have a redstone current.( I reccommend using a timer set to a bit less than a second with a lever behind it to turn it off if needed).

4.It may be helpful to use a voltmeter to check the Amps being sent to the retriever( This is however to be sure that all the blutricity generators are connected properly and for how much blutricity is getting to the retreiver).

Check for those and note that you DO NOT need blulectric cables for solarpanels you can connect solar panels to solar panels to batteryboxes to a machine to a machine blutricity travels through blutric components.

Hope this comment helped. Good luck in your travels and contraptions.
