midlog wordpress = insanity

I’m trying to use midlog on my phone to upload to wordpress. I’m going insane. Using the generic blogger interface works fine, but the movabletype interface produces posts that are invisible until I edit them and re-set the category. The weird thing is, that if I look at the rows in mysql, they look the same for the two posts, but the one posted via the MT interface isn’t visible:
from wp_posts:
| ID | post_author | post_date | post_date_gmt | post_content | post_title | post_category | post_excerpt | post_lat | post_lon | post_status | comment_status | ping_status | post_password | post_name | to_ping | pinged | post_modified | post_modified_gmt | post_content_filtered | post_parent |

Post 75 was from the generic interface and 76 was from movabletype… any ideas?
