Well, turns out I'm semi-retarded.  I noticed that the date on my pdf file
was also two days old...and then it hit me.  I had kept testing my project
again and again and forgot to delete previous entries in the database.  Most
of the information, including the key, was hard-coded for testing purposes,
and so I ended up with multiple entries with the same key.  My program was
accessing old database entries.  Looks like I should be more careful.
thanks
