[Plugin: Shadowbox JS] embed links not picking up shadowbox

WP 3.01
Thesis Theme 1.8
KFE 2.1.5
Shadowbox-js 3.0.3.2
No site caching enabled

Still unable to open external links in embedded swf when xml has rel=”shadowbox”. target=&&& renders correctly. I have deleted and reinstalled shadowbox 2x, no change. Please see:
