Hello Jason, Actually, scratch that last request. The folks responsible for the search volume data returned from the AdWords API spotted a problem with the process that refreshes the data (and also with the process that monitors whether the data was refreshed...) and they're working to get everything updated now. They actually discovered this a few days ago independently of your report, and that's also what's causing some queries to return -1 for search volume while the backend data is being updated, as reported in this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api/browse_thread/thread/e43f3c2f2303bbfa There's apparently a large amount of data that needs to be updated, and it's taking some time to get pushed out to all of the places that it's replicated, but once it is complete fresh data should be available. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.
