Very Strange Collision Problem

Ok, so I made an animated shape in blender and exported it useing www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=8395 as a reference.
I placed the object in my scene and I realized two things:
1.I had screwed up the animation on accedent.
2.The object could stop my bullets but I could walk through it.
So I went back and fixed the animation first because I knew how to do that easly and I had no clue how to fix the collision problem. When I went to check the animation in game it worked perfect AND for some reason the collision worked fine now too (I did not change anything with the collision mesh, only the animation!) so I thought maybe the exporter gliched the first time I exported it.
Here's the strange part:
I went to admire my object again a couple of hours later and the collision no longer worked.
I really need help and I have absolutly no clue why it doesn't work. Remember, my bullets are stopped but I am not.

Unfortunatly animation seems a little jumpy and I'm gussing thats because I can only have the frames for the action as high as my highest keyfame instead of the exrta ten it shows in the tutorial. Is there anyway to make it flow like it does in the tutorial and how the old exporter did? (I tried messing with the export options but I couldn't figure out how to make it flow.)

Hmm, now it pauses when it gets to the end of the animation as if it were playing the same frame twice even though I do get the "Duplicute frames removed" message in the log.
