Is LAN crediting you with the equivalent miles for your originally-booked itinerary but you want the extra miles for this new routing, or are they not crediting you at all? I'd ask to speak with a supervisor. Your name has to be attached to the new flights at some point. Boarding passes not always necessary to get miles, but could certainly help. You could send them copies.
I got credit for the outbound, but not the return. I have the boarding passes, along with my missing luggage form, which makes it pretty clear that I had to have flown the flight. I only used the website to try to claim those miles, but nothing came of it, so I will try to call them and see what happens.
