Can anyone see why the third computer was not granted any credit but the first two were?  It appears the result did not validate on the third computer, but doesn't this mean no credit is granted for the unit at all?

When three successful results are received they go through the validation process. It only takes two out of the three to agree for credit to be awarded. If you look at the result ID there is probably "invalid" in the validate state field for the result that got no credit.
