Facebook "Like" button in ExpressionEngine entries no working correctly

I am building a News section for a client website (in ExpressionEngine) and they have requested that each article have the Facebook like button. So I went to Facebook's developer site and found the necessary code to make it work.

The problem I have is that if I like one article, it counts that like for all of them! I'm using my ee tags for title and permalink in the OpenGraph meta tags, but to no avail.

Open graph code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
    <meta property="og:title" content="{title}" />
    <meta property="og:type" content="non_profit" />
    <meta property="og:url" content="{title_permalink=news/article}" />
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://dallascityhomes.net/_images/dch-logo-big.png" />
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="Dallas City Homes" />
    <meta property="fb:admins" content="--removed--" />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

The actual button (it is wrapped within a exp:weblog:entry tag):

                <div>
                    <a href="http://twitter.com/share?text={title}" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a>
                    <fb:like href="{title_permalink=news/article}" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="80" font="arial"></fb:like>
                </div>

And of course the JS script for FB like, I moved to the bottom of the doc:

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<script src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Has anyone encountered this before? Know a solution?

Do the og:url meta property and the href property of the fb:like tag appear to be rendering correctly when you view source?
