Actually, I think what's happening is that sitescooper is presenting
the 2nd-level page, and the story-level page in the scoop.

A kludge to fix it is to use a ContentsStart and ContentsEnd pattern
that cut out all the text except the printable link; or alternatively,
see if you can simply get all the "normal" (non-printable) story pages
using StoryFollowLinks: 1 (assuming the problem is that the story
is split over multiple pages).

Could you send me a site file that demo's this and I'll take a look?
