sp_publication_validation procedure doesn't seem to work properly

Hello,

I am trying to use sp_publication_validation stored procedure to validate that my replication setup is working correctly.  This procedure is pretty straightforward and is describedhere.

I am running this command:

	EXEC sp_publication_validation @publication = 'MyPublication'
		,@rowcount_only = 1		-- (1 - rowcnt only, 2 - rowcnt and checksum)
		,@full_or_fast = 0		-- (0 - full count using COUNT(*), 1 - use sysindexes.rows, 2 - conditional)

Initially everything seems to be ok and the results indicate that all of the tables match.  Next I go over to the subscriber and manually delete a few rows from some of the tables.  I manually verify that the row counts in my tables are now different between the publisher and the subscriber.  Finally I run the sp_publication_validation procedure again and .... it says that everything is still OK.  This is wrong!  I also tried to returns both rowcnt and checksum and it still doesn't detect the fact that there are differences between the publisher and subscriber.

I appreciate any ideas.

Thank you!
