I should clarify my overly caffeinated text:
The beta testers would all have ValhallaRoom 1.0.7 installed on their systems. The new beta has a version number of 1.0.8.

Plus, for some of my beta updates, I've been incrementing the version number in the plugin GUI only, yet people who jump through the hoops to get the plugin validated are able to see the beta updates no problem, even with the same 1.0.8 number. It is the people going from 1.0.7 to 1.08 that are reporting the issue.

The system cannot tell the old version from the new version unless you change the version number. Maybe try 1.1.0 instead of 1.0.8?

The problem it, I don't run into this issue on any of my OSX machines. And users are reporting that the plugin works fine on one machine that is running OS 10.6.8/Logic 9.1.5, and fails validation on another machine with the identical OS/Logic version.
