GR not maintaing buffer of work on my preffered project

Theres something weird about this program.
I adjusted the program to the same settings as I had with boinc manager.
I maintain a 5 day extra buffer of work for both einstein and rosetta.
Shortly after install the program downloaded a ton of work on Einstein and NOTHING for rosettta. I am down to 2 tasks and the program is telling the scheduler that it does not need any more work for rosetta.

As far as I know there is no debt issue with Einstein as there have been no problems on that project.

So why is it holding a buffer of work for Einstein and not for my preferred program Rosetta?

Preferences and setting buffer:

If you were managing your preferences from the project websites these should have been imported when you joined GridRepublic or Progress Thru Processors as GridRepublic currently is a simple a relay to change these from a central site and imports them when you join.

Where were you managing your preferences previous to joining? Was it on the project websites or within BOINC on your computer?

Too much work:

What is your resource share set to for the projects? Is Einstein higher than Rosetta?

Since you have changed BOINC version depending on what version you came from the debt calculation method may be different giving you a temporary overload of one project until the debt reaches equilibrium again.

To use GridRepublic or the Progress Thru Processors Facebook application you did not need to switch to this new download and could have attached to your old BOINC client to GridRepublic see here for instructions.
