Facebook Object Debugger returns 404 not found when trying to scrape

I have a simple Tumblr website blog, upon which I post content.

However since I changed my DNS, the Facebook Object debugger sees really old data for my root url: http://www.kofferbaque.nl/ and for every post (for instance: http://kofferbaque.nl/post/96638253942/moodoid-le-monde-moo) it shows a 404 not found, which is bullshit because the actual content is there.

The full error message: Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped.

I have tried the following things to fix it:

What other options are there to fix this issue? If you need more info please ask in the comments.

When throwing my url into the static debugger https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http://www.kofferbaque.nl/. The 'net' tab from firebug gives the following response: 

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kofferbaque.nl%2F&amp;_fb_noscript=1" /><meta http-equiv="X-Frame-Options" content="DENY" />

I've placed a test blog post to see if it would work, it didn't. Somehow my root url started 'magically' updating itself. Or let's say, it removed the old data - probably due to the fact that I removed the old app it was still refering to. However, it still doesn't see the 'newer' tags correctly.

Still no succes

Done:

This appearantly doesn't make any changes. It also appears that tumblr injects lots of script tags at the start of the head element. Maybe that is the reason the Facebook scraper doesn't 'see' the meta tags.

The frustrating bit is that through some other og tag scanner: http://iframely.com/debug?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkofferbaque.nl%2F, it shows all the correct info.

First, the HTML is not valid. You got the doctype two times (at least on the post page), and there is content before the html tag (script tag and IE conditionals).

This may be the problem, but make sure you put the og-tags together at the beginning of the head section - The debugger only reads part of the page afaik, so make sure the og-tags are in that part. Put all the other og-tags right after "og:site_name".

Btw: ?fbrefresh=1 is not really necessary, you can use ANY parameter - just to create a different url. But the debugger offers a button to refresh the scraping, so it´s useless anyway.
