Have you tried putting regular underwear on him? maybe that will make him feel unfortable enough to want to gopotty. And have him to help you clean them. How about putting him on the potty after he brings you the diaper. One thing that I do with my two year old is to sit her on the potty while I am running her bath water, she also has a basket of books sitting beside her potty and I will sit there and read them to her and she has gone a few times during this, don't ask him if he has to go, just put something that he likes to beside the potty and that is the only time he is aloud to have those things, my daughter likes putting a sticker on her chart when ever she goes potty, maybe you can do something like this after he poops in the potty. I wish I could help you, in all honesty, my little one is harder then my oldest was with this, she is a stubborn little girl when it comes to this subject. Today, she absolutely refused to sit on the potty so I didn't make a big deal out of it, I put her in diapers and didn't attempt the rest of the day, We will be going out of town for a couple days, leaving tomorrow so I am just gonna let it go til next week and start over, I did this with my oldest at one point and having a fresh start seemed to help me not to be so stressed about it, though she was much easier then her littel sister, so we will see what happens with this techinique. Just hang in there and don't worry so much, give your self a breather if ned to. Hope I helped some, even if just a little.

Thanks for your encouragement and tips!  Yes, my son wears underwear all day until nap-time or bedtime (then due to lack of control I put him into a diaper).  He will willingly run to the toilet to pee throughout the day.  But he's been throwing major screaming fits when I put him on the toilet to poop, even though he himself has announced that he needs to go, and withholds until he gets that diaper.  I think that I'll give the sticker chart a try ... and keep my fingers crossed.
