Wordpress Trackback Problem

I've set up a few WP auto-blogs and I'm having trackback issues. I hope I'm just burnt out and missing something at the moment, but I can't make sense of it and never had this problem before.

I have 5 sites in question.. all of which I set up identically(I think). I have my little php script that sort of does what Eli and Josh's trackback script accomplishes but actually scrapes some of the post also... The problem is that on 1 of my sites the trackbacks are going out fine.. on the other 4 they are putting my whole f'in post in the trackback which makes other blogs immediately file it under spam. I have NO IDEA why this is going on. I just thought before I install the trackback.php library and code the trackbacks myself, I would see if anyone has any helpful info.

Also.. has anyone used the trackback.php library? It looks simple enough, I was just wondering if this is my best alternative option if I can't get WP to function correctly.

nevermind.. all fixed now. If anybody wants to know the problem i'll explain what I understand.

When posting WP xmlrpc switches <br /> to <p>...</p> however it will NOT switch <br/> to <p>...</p>

On site 1 I had an older version of my script installed which posted several scraped entries and I used
$body = implode('<br />', $array) which was fine..
the updated version I wrote
$body = implode('<br/>', $array) which WP wouldn't switch over.

How this ended up completely screwing up the trackbacks I have literally no idea, but it was the only change I made and it fixed the problem.
