Now in my account slowly some of the pending WUs got the credit granted. But the new score is not shown in the Boincstats.com account even after two days. Do I have do anything about that, or is it fixed automatically as well?
The BOINC stats updates will happen automatically, the data base 'ping pong' effect causes the stats programs to not get updates as well. When (if???) the Einstein program returns to its historic reliable self (and assuming they post status note informing the vast unwashed of that successful implementation), then results will get uploaded, credited and the stats programs will get regular updates.

Sometimes when a project is overloaded, or is working on the database, the usual daily statistics ‘dump’ is skipped, perhaps because the records aren’t fit to be queried, or because the program or server that performs the task is down—or just to save time & resources. The BOINCstats summary display indicates the “Last XML update� for E@h to be over two days old now. Whether or not it’ll get fixed automatically, it’s certainly on the project’s side, not the participants’.
I am experiencing similar backlogs on "pending" - over 5000 credits at this point; at least 102 files pending. The error message is can't find "Fstat.out.ckp. No usable checkpoint found". This on a newly installed Vista Ultimate machine (since about 2007FEB08) and a "not touched lately" laptop with WIN XP Pro SP2 (since 2007FEB08). Now and then credit is granted to a file, buit most pend. I'm not familiar with ther stderr codes used and wonder if I have clobbered up something.
Augie, The reason that your “pendings� are rising is because of problems with the project’s database on its servers. Your computers seem fine apart from a little hiccup on the 10th of Feb with your Vista machine. That seems to have sorted itself out now. The reason for the “no usable checkpoint found� is that when the application starts it looks to see if it has been running previously and has a checkpoint to start from. This is so that if you close down BOINC and then later start it again it does not start the WU from the beginning but starts from the last checkpoint. Obviously the first time that it starts a new WU it does not find a checkpoint and so prints that message. The clue that all is OK is the “[normal]� included in the message. Dave.

Thanks for the nice explanation, Dave; I have been too long in Windows-land, I guess. So I'll settle back and relax and let things continue.
