JP,
I agree with Marshall. My first inclination would be a bad thermocouple. It could also be dirty or mis-aligned. The T/couple should be located in the pilot flame to allow it to react to the heat of the pilot and have no rust or scale on it. I would remove the burner section and thoroughly clean everything, then re-install it and see if it works.
You can also check the gas valve by applying 12 VDC directly to the contacts. If you hear a click....it's probably working.
Try these and let us know how you make out.
