With externals means that it includes the libraries with the addon's download (just like if you were downloading off of this site or the files page at wowace). The updated versions of the libraries are pulled and included inside your addon's folder that uses them.

Without externals means that those libraries are not pulled and included with the addons themselves. This is what you would use if you were using standalone libs - since the libraries are in the root AddOns folder, WAU sees that you have them installed and updates them there along with your addons as it goes through the list.

The reason why I asked you those questions was to see if you had the most recent versions of your libraries. If you were using embedded libs, but updated without externals, then those libs inside your FuBar folder, for example, would not get updated along with the addon itself. Sometimes having updated addons but out-of-date libraries can cause some issues. Especially if there was a bug fix or a change to the library.

I'm not exactly sure why you are having this problem, as I'm not familiar with all of the ins and outs of Ace2 mods and what libraries do, how to identify problems, etc. Are you getting any errors at all? Try updating again, this time go into the preferences in WAU and have it delete before extracting - this will do clean installs of all of your addons, by deleting the old version before unpacking the zip of the new.
Thanks, I'll try your suggestion when I get home, plus I'll check for errors. Thanks for the information as well!
