Another thing to check ... make sure the object definitions are completely within the band you meant them to be. If they have been moved 1 pixel up or down in the the previous or next band, the report writer may think they "belong" to the wrong band.

Other than that .. I'm not sure what else to tell you. If you can zip up the code and the data in a small sample that I can run completely on my machine, I'll look it over when I get a chance .. but no guarantee how soon I can get to it. I'm swamped right now.
