Ok, here is what I did
Had 1 utc sent from cryptsy to my wallet..and it went through, shows in the chain and works flawlessly. So I must be in the right chain..otherwise that would not have worked.
After that I sent the same 1 utc back to cryptsy..and guess what? The transaction is nowhere to be found in the chain and the coin is simply lost.

Simply put: I am synced with the correct blockchain, can get utc sent to my wallet with no issues whatsoever...but sending them seems to be the problem. I guess one cannot "partially fork" so I am at a loss here. I even erased the wallet and re downloaded everything to no avail.
I withdrew about 2500 UTC from Cryptsy this afternoon and it arrived in my wallet after a few minutes. I tried to withdrawl a smaller amount from Mintpal and even though it cleared the usual withdrawal confirmations successfully after more than 4 hours they haven't arrived. Mintpal usually has the fastest withdrawal transactions so this is very unusual.
The statement on the Mintpal site about their Vericoin attack includes the info below so I'm not surprised that they haven't arrived:
Update from MintPal
As it stands at the moment the following applies:
1) blah blah blah about Vericoin
2) We are currently processing withdrawals for all other coins.
