What I think is happening:
If your equip info on POL LS community site is not set to public, it will still display for you when you log in, because the session credentials associated with the URL hash are still valid. That's why when you then paste the URL in Edit Chars, ffxiah.com can immediately update successfully with this temporarily valid URL.
However, that session hash expires on the POL-side after 20-30 minutes, leaving ffxiah.com with a URL that is no longer able to access any record that is set to private in the future. (Such as when it auto-updates 24 hours from then.)
The act of going back to POL LS community, logging in, and re-pasting your URL... even if it appears the URL hasn't changed, that identifying hash is now once again "logged in" again on POL's side for another 20-30 minutes, so ffxiah.com can update immediately one more time... until it times out again.
There also appears to be some kind of random timeout bug with the auto-updater itself which is causing another layer of fun. We're working on it. Thanks for your patience.
