Ooo... you are right, I guess that's what I get for the late night coding. Boy, that is a pickle, since the delta only adds new posts & threads there is no way to go back and update the existing data (without a full reindex).
If only there was a way to query the mysql table to grab the latest post/thread attributes based on the sphinx results. I haven't fully examined the code so I don't know what all is and isn't possible yet.
Thanks for pointing out my oversight...
