remove PRIMARY Sidebar from my homepage

[pixelpaper]

I am trying to make my own child theme, using magazine as a guide.

I want my primary sidebar removed and replaced on the homepage with a custom widget/sidebar

I am able to add the new widget area, but can't remove the default...
(I did it on a dummy site, but can't get it to work on my working site)...
here is the code I'm using...

(this is in the "home.php" file.

// Swap sidebar on homepage
add_action('get_header','calvary_change_genesis_sidebar');
function calvary_change_genesis_sidebar() {
if ( is_home('home')) {
remove_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'genesis_do_sidebar' ); //remove the default genesis sidebar
add_action( 'genesis_sidebar', 'calvary_do_sidebar' ); //add an action hook to call the function for my custom sidebar
}
}

// Output sidebar with the id 'home-sidebar'
function calvary_do_sidebar() {
genesis_widget_area( 'home-sidebar' );
}

any help would be greatly appreciated.
