Assuming that this isn't something stupid like also having the VZB-deny 
community set, which would cause it to be blocked by the first term... 
I've actually seen several issues in recent code over the past year or 
so where a policy-statement will sometimes evaluate incorrectly, or 
where a change in policy will never be processed without a hard clear. 
Your policy is really really simple, and I've only seen these issues in 
much more complex setups, but if you really can't figure it out give a 
hard clear a try and see if it helps.
