Can't update Facebook status using any third-party social app

Hi guys,

Hoping you can help me here. I have had a root around but my problem doesn't seem to be replicated anywhere.

I used to be a happy user of Tweetdeck for Android. Then one day (a few weeks ago maybe?) it stopped updating my status when I told it to. I didn't think anything of it at the time but it started to bug me (and the official Facebook app is rubbish) so I tried to look into it. Nothing I found could help me, so I thought I would try Hootsuite (I quite like it, use it on my iPad) and Seesmic, but I found the same thing. They would post to my Twitter all right, but not to my Facebook (to clarify, I still get my feed and 'mentions', although the latter seems to have changed its focus/scope somewhat recently and reads just like my feed - strange)

I tried going into my Facebook and checking to make sure if all of these apps were authorised to "post statuses as me", and they all were. I tried removing permissions from within settings in Facebook and re-authorising, but to no avail. Still the same thing.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? I really don't want to have to go back to the official Facebook app as it's crap (the iPad one is quite good, but I don't have that with me all the time, unlike my phone), so please fill me in if you have any ideas. Thanks!
