Cross Domain - posting and receiving FDF

Hi there,
 
I have the situation where my customers use "offline" PDF's. I.e. they are emailed to them. Theses PDF's submit data to a script on my side and that returns some FDF so that I can pop up a confirmation.
 
I managed to get a cross-domain file working on my site that eliminated the yellow security toolbar and all works fine with that method.
 
But, I also have a hosted PDF on one site that sends information to the same script on another site. This is returning a new error (not the yellow bar) :
 
Error text
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
The document
 
http://my.site.com/pdfname.pdf
 
is trying to load data from
 
http://my.site2.com/scriptname.pl
 
The data has been blocked because the site's cross-domain policy does not allow this action. Contact the owner of the site if you think this actions should be allowed.
 
If you trust this document, you can allow it to receive data by adding the host "http://my.site.com/" to the list of Privileged Locations in the Security (Enhanced) preferences panel.
 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
Now my crossdomain.xml is set up to allow all and any domain so I'm not sure why this would not work. I've tried to load the same crossdomain.xml file on both servers even.
 
Does anyone have any ideas?

I should have mentioned, this only started happening in Adobe Reader 9.3.4. for Windows. Other versions work fine.
