Google Directory updated from DMOZ yet?

My updated listing still isn't there...

I'm new to all this, so bear with me. :)

Several weeks ago a kind editor at DMOZ updated my listing to reflect the new URL. With the latest Google update I assumed they would update their copy of the DMOZ directory. Unfortunately my site still comes up in the Google Directory with the wrong (old) URL.

I'd really like to get rid of the old URL since it is a PR0 now and points to the new site. But Google keeps directing traffic to it via their Directory.

Any thoughts?

The Google (DMOZ) directory was updated a couple days ago for my cats and from my access (California)

Google is very very slow in updating dmoz. Sites which have been removed from a dmoz category will appear with high PR for about 30 days at google.
Therefore there is also a lot of cheating going on with expired dmoz domains at goolge. Even dmoz
editors complain about this in their forums.
