Brakes coaster brake slipping

My only guess is that your brake reaction arm has come loose (the one that gets strapped to the chain stay) Other that that, I have no idea but I will be watching this thread closely hoping that someone else knows more that I do about coaster brakes. I have one as well.

Edit:
I read Sheldon's page on them, and according to his description, the left cone has come loose on your hub. This is caused by the reaction arm not being secured properly. He tells how to adjust it further on down the page.
Read the text just below the picture of the reaction arm.
