Technorati rank, updating, and multiple blog URLs

In light of Declan's article on science blog ranking, I thought I'd check out my Technorank.

It turns out that depending how you identify my blog URL, you get different results on Technorati.

In particular, I rank either 30,009th or 31,912th.

My default URL is scilib.typepad.com
this can also be reached through the longer URL scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad/

Technorati thinks these are two different blogs.

*** 1 http://www.technorati.com/blogs/scilib.typepad.com

Science Library Pad

• Rank: 30,009 (174 links from 82 sites)

*** 2 http://www.technorati.com/blogs/scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad

Science Library Pad

• Rank: 31,912 (214 links from 78 sites)

I'm going to claim the second URL, I don't know if it will make any difference.

UPDATE: Here's an interesting twist.  I log in to Technorati and try to claim http://scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad/ and get

Error: Unclaimable Blog      

Sorry, the URL you entered is not claimable.

... The only thing I can think of that I am doing that may screw them up, is that after I claimed my blog initially, I turned off the Technorati claim code in my blog - I have turned this back on now.  We'll see whether that changes anything.

I got exactly the reverse while trying to claim a typepad blog. http://outgoing.typepad.com was unclaimable, but http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing was. Maybe claim order has something to do with it.
