Yes, that's what I suspect. I've just tested the script through a python interpretor (stripped out the django only stuff first) and it definitely works.
So I'm wondering if it might be a timing issue, that somehow on a refresh, perhaps due some kind of cacheing, the queryset is not being fetched quickly enough so the script runs without it and therefore the update doesn't work? Is that even possible?
