Are the NTLM hashes case sensitive?
If so, the problem could be related to
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.openwall.john.user/50

Meaning: the passwords are the same as those cracked before.
But the corresponding hashes differ in case.
If you convert all your hashes to upper case,
the problem should disappear.

Even the correct solution has been discussed in that thread.
(A path in the split function, IIRC)
