What does "namecoind -rescan" do? I haven't tried it.
It didn't help. Basically, it rescans the blockchain and registers all transactions that are missing from the wallet.
You won't get the name until at least 12 blocks after the block name_new went through on. You should get it if you didn't get an error. I have gotten all of mine.
OK, another question. What happens if you update before 12 blocks have passed?
