....and I should have said that it is likely that something else is happening
with your workbooks/worksheets.

Can you post just a quick snippet of code to show how you are 'processing'
the cells you get from the worksheets please; something like;

HSSFSheet sheet = workbook.getSheetAt(0);
Iterator<Row> rowIter = sheet.rowIterator();
while(rowIter.hasNext()) {
    Row row = rowIter.next();
    Iterator<Cell> cellIter = row.cellIterator();
    while(cellIter.hasNext()) {
        Cell cell = cellIter.next();
        ..................
    }
}
