Its not your problem -- I just realized that we are hampering lookups  
of newer TRMs due to a change in our data replication system. We've  
stopped replicating the TRM data since non of our customers have need  
for this data. Little did I think about the fact that we're using our  
own replication system for our internal DB servers. This means that  
our DB server tasked with answering TRM lookup queries no longer gets  
information about TRM updates, which is why you can see them using  
the web interface (which uses the main DB) and not in the Web Service  
(which uses the replicated DB server).

I'll see if I can get this fixed in the next day or so.
