some progress made

Ok, I've made some progress in diagnosing the problem: it only manifests itself when the movie's URL starts with a "0" (http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0...). If the URL is of the form http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1, http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt2, etc. it works fine
Now, I don't know enough about scripting to fix this. How is the leading zero handled by the script? The weird thing is, it's not just dropped as you can see from the examples below. The entire URL changes if there is a leading zero.
Here are two pairs. There are many others, though.
Correct: Another You
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0101356/
Incorrect: See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Correct: Bait
http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0211938/
Incorrect: Money Train
