I got a mission to inspect a cannon ship of Nym's and then I had to dock with it to get some data toreturn to a mission giver. Did that, and he asked me to give it to him. Didn't see anything in the pad or inventory, so I deleted the mission and took it again. Went through the inspect/dock thing again, and now he says I am working for someone else when I talk to him - but I am working for him....

Is this mission bugged or is there something I am missing about it?
