Clean install, latest script, still cannot download HD

Hi.

I've looked at the messages from people over the last couple of months 
about problems with downloading HD, and I've now hit the same problem on 
my Windows 7 64-bit PC with the command line:

get_iplayer.cmd --modes=flashhd --pid=b010tb7q --get --force

(That's Doctor Who 6.1, BTW.)

I've removed the C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer folder and done a 
reinstall from the Windows installer, then copied the latest 
get_iplayer.pl from the repository at infradead.org.

The download starts, but then I get a long list of:

WARNING: Stream does not start with requested frame, ignoring data...

and:

WARNING: Stream does not start with requested FLV frame, ignoring data...

Looking at the errors just above those, I see:

There's the old URL:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/emp/10player.swf?revision=18269_21576

Even though I search my get_iplayer installation and can't find that 
string in the files at all.

Any ideas as to what's going on, here?

Thanks,

Iain.
