I noticed a computational error and when I checked the work id there was another participant that got the same error.

Neither system was granted credit. However, when I selected the task id both participants where shown as being "granted credit" (scroll to the bottom of the detail page).

Question: If the task details for each task shows "granted credit" then why is not the credit actually granted? Neither participant shows granted credit for that task in their host id page.

Rosetta has a special job that runs to grant credit for exceptional conditions. When the credit granting script issues the credit, it only displays in the task details, just as you describe.
