Any Ideas??

I

your results match what I got when I just ran the pbsvc.

Have you tried playing since you ran the test?  If so, did you get the same result that you originally stated?

Last ditch effort, you could always go and download the pbsetup and manually update pb to see that helps.

I tested the new install and manualy update many times!

I have done the test while playing, the result changed!
