I have one result (link below) that others have received credit but I have not. This computer is old and slow, but has submitted several results.

Not sure why it would not received credit on this one but others. It said it was successful.

Not complaining, but curious.

Success only means that the work was processed by the application without a KNOWN error.

But, it may be regarded as "bogus" by the validator which is looking for certain things that may not be present when compared to other results.

If you look in the Wiki in the "Validation Process" you should get a decent explanation.

or the filedeleter has been over-anxious again.
I have 4 results in pending for one host.
all results were returned well within the deadline, but are the last results to be returned.

It seems to be a well known database problem:
If a result is returned just when the others were granted, the result will never get credits automatically.

process 1: start validation and granting credits
process 2: receive result from client
process 2: stores it in the DB as pendig
process 1: stores granted credits in the DB and might override a state or timestamp

It looks like a locking problem to me ...

By the way, if someone would cleanup the DB manually, there is another pending result here: http://lhcathome.cern.ch/workunit.php?wuid=658138

Have a nice Xmas
