Right, I used the outer one, although I suspect it isn't correct yet, so will 
keep working on it.  It's probably safest to look at the underlying structures 
that are used to create the query.

What happens is that you actually end up comparing two different objects, one 
which is the DistanceQuery and one which is the inner class, so it doesn't work.
