Based on what you saw on /getdata, that is the correct response. IMHO.

Are you saying the SD "lineup report" shows XMLID of 35329?

If that's the case, a re-add lineup will probably fix it, but please send an email to support at sd so I can report the issue to Tribune as they need to know if their Lineup-API and Data-API databases are out of sync.  it shouldn't be happening any more. (they supposidly fixed that bug)  Please don't run the re-add so Tribune can see it broken.
