So it is skipping at the right frame numbers from the commercial skip list,
but does it still look like it's skipping at the wrong point in the video?

If the frame numbers in the editor match the frame numbers in the commercial
skip list, and the frame numbers displayed when AutoCommercialSkip skips
match those as well, then the frame number during playback must not be
matching the frame number you see when in edit mode (or when the flagger
plays frame-by-frame through the video).  Does this sound like what's
happening or did the video skip at the right place (visually) when you
printed out the frame numbers above.
