DDNS Auto Update Problem

Hi All,
I have Gargoyle 1.8.1 installed on my TP-Link TL-WDR4300.
I am using UnoTelly to access the full Netflix library.
So I would like to setup auto update on my router to avoid manually updating my IP with UnoTelly every now and then.
So here is what I did so far:
1. Opened a domain at freedns.afraid.org (xxxxxx.mooo.com).
2. Added this domain to my account at UnoTelly.
3. Setup the domain on the Gargoyle web UI (user Name and password both of my UnoTelly account).
When I click "force update" I get the message "update successful". However, it's not. The IP is not updated.
So, am I doing something wrong?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

How did you check that it was not updated?

I updated the IP at UnoTelly.com from another network, then "forced update" on the router (on my network), yet "my" IP is still not updated with UnoTelly (and of course Netflix is still not accessible).

otherwise its just a guessing game.

log in via SSH
type "logread"
use PuTTY.exe for windows
or
Terminal.app for mac/unix

OK thanks. Here is the latest log (I put "xxxxxx" instead of the full domain name):

Ok so that is saying that it has successfully identified your IP address, and that it matches the one stored with your ddns provider.
Is this not the case?
