If a work colleague is just ignoring you...

Dear All

I was asked to do some work for another office (different time zone).  Initially tried to arrange a call with the director in charge of that office to talk through his requirements.  There was no response, so I sent information / drafts through requesting comments, then sent a couple of chasers, then sent an email saying unless I heard to the contrary, I would start roll out.   

Not one of these (5?) requests and emails over the course of 6 weeks or so has elicited any response at all.   We have never met and I have no way of knowing whether this behaviour is general or just directed  at me.  My question:  should I just plough on regardless, continue to keep them informed and ignore the being ignored part unless it starts seriously interfering with my ability to do my job?  Or should I try to find out (in the nicest possible way) whether this person has some sort of problem with me?  

And / or should I change my approach in some way?

    Just thought I would update you all - after checking with a colleague, I have now established that this person just ignores everyone. Same colleague assured me that the person had been on a conference call with her so "we know he's alive." :)
