For the record, in August of last year the laws regarding who was and was not able to be considered exempt were tightened up. So it's possible that six years ago your position was considered exempt but under the new law it is not.

Of course, that begs the question of why it has taken from August of 04 to June of 05 for them to figure this out, but it's by no means outside the realm of possiblity.
