query_posts displaying the wrong posts

Hey all,

For some reason when I use query_posts the wrong posts are being displayed when I am filtering by a custom taxonomy, called ‘contact’, and i cannot figure out why. Rather than the list of Posts with the contact a Post that has the same name as the contact is being displayed.

I am using this code –

$args = Array( // Array of arguments for query_posts()
	'cat' => $cat,
	'posts_per_page' => 10,
	'paged' => $paged,
	'tag' => get_query_var('tag'),
	'tla_tag' => get_query_var('tla_tag'),
	'contact' => get_query_var('contact'));
query_posts($args);

Yet the arguments are collecting the correct data –
Array ( [cat] => 75 [posts_per_page] => 10 [paged] => 0 [tag] => [tla_tag] => [contact] => john-smith )

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks.
