Nicolas,
For your probe to work you need a pin that is not being used for anything else.
Connect your X limit switches and Z limit switches in series to pin 11 this will leave pin 10 free.
Now connect your probe to pin 10.
Try that and check if it then works as you would expect it to (I think you will need to slow your probing feedrate as F20 seems a bit fast to me) it would also be a good idea to replace the cutting tool with a piece of metal rod (saves damaging the expensive tool if it does not work correctly).
