The editor uses the database specified in the db.ini file, whereas your eq game always uses the the database specified in eqemu_config.xml and/or login.ini. 
 
Now if they are the same, then here's a disconnect somewhere. The editor always writes the data or it crashes/fails when it cannot write. 
 
My guess you have more than 1 database.
