Strange SEO URLS issues

[kburks1230]

Ok here goes. We currently have 5 ecommerce stores. 3 of these stores are in OSCMAX. One of them is experiencing a strange seo urls problem and I can't figure out why. BOTH SITES ARE CLONES OF THE SAME OSCMAX!

I first noticed the problem when I noticed that the SEO Urls wasn't working. I turned the seo options on and off in the admin and nothing would get it to turn back on again. I reset the cache etc. no luck. I compared the configuration table values of the "problem store" to a working store and noticed that the "problem store" configuration table more SEO_URLS related values and they were different than that of the working site.
The broken site entries values like:
USE_SEO_CACHE_TOPICS
SEO_URLS_FILTER_SHORT_WORDS
SEO_ENABLED
SEO_ADD_CPATH_TO_PRODUCT_URLS
SEO_ADD_CAT_PARENT
and more....
all with configuration_id's of 888003

and the working site had only 4 values like:
SEO_URLS_TYPE
SEO_URLS_FILTER_SHORT_WORDS
SEO_URLS_CACHE_RESET
SEO_URLS
all with configuration_id's of 888002

Now what the heck?
BOTH SITES ARE CLONES OF THE SAME OSCMAX!

So I removed the seo values from the broken site's configuration and inserted the working site's values and changed the configuration_id of the values to match 8880003. Everything worked. Now after a few days it stopped working again. what the heck? I checked the configuration table of the broken site and the many seo_url values are back but with the configuration ID of 8880003 now?

strange...... is there some code somewhere updating my table? I had previously deleted the seourls and cache installation files so can't be that. I'm confused so please help.
