I'm sure you're aware that Google is not one big computer. I think the last I heard, it was 170,000 computers distributed all over the world. As a result, it takes time to 'roll out' updates to all of these machines.

This is the same cause for the hundreds of posts we see when an update is occurring (or even rumored) that "My site is in one minute and out the next -- I'm worried!" -- The reason is that with load-sharing and round-robin DNS, you never know just what server a google domain name will resolve to; One minute you connect to one machine, the next minute, to an entirely different one. And updating them takes time.

The fact that this is a subdomain hosted in a subdirectory should have nothing to do with it. After all, "www.domain.com" is a subdomain of example.com, and there are many "www" sites that seem to work just fine... :)

I'd give this a few more days, and then see where you stand.
