Yes, the AUID did change in this case, although the cause is that two 
AUIDs were created by mistake, and the second one was listed in the Alert 
Notice.  This was due to human error when we added the star to our 
validation list, and should (hopefully) never happen again. 
Unfortunately the error seems to be present in several places in our 
system which is likely the cause of the photometry table problem.  I will 
let people know so that they can investigate it.

If any data were submitted with the old AUID, we still have it.  I 
apologize for the confusion.
