FSW Fast Track Application Rejected at New Delhi CHC :-(

Well, folks... it finally came, the rejection letter. I had applied under 0213. The foreboding delay itself made me suspect that things are not good. Here are my details, which hopefully would benefit the future applicants. Suggestions are welcome.
Time line:
Applied to Sydney, NS: January 23, 2009
Received AOR from Sydney: February 19, 2009
Sent full documents to New Delhi CHC: March 30, 2009
'Not eligible for processing' Letter: Dated April 20, posted June 4, received June 8, 2009.
e-CAS status since May 13: Visa office eligibility review complete.
The gist of the letter is this:
You have indicated that you have work exp in an occupation with the following NOC code 0213. Although the NOC code corresponds to an occupation specified in the instructions, you do not have a minimum of one year of continuous full-time or equivalent part-time paid work experience in this occupation in the last ten years. Since you did not provide evidence that you have work experience in the listed occupation, you do not meet the requirements of the ministerial instructions and your application is not eligible for processing.
My profile is: Job title: Director, Data Processing. The Indo-Swiss joint venture is owned by me and my husband and was incorporated in 2006, since which time I've been working there. Since 1999, I've been working in the managerial cadre in the ITES industry (maybe they are looking for pure IT managers only).
Evidence provided for the latest job:
Company formation letter which lists me as the Director. Did not provide an appointment letter since I was also the owner.
Reference from the Managing Director (who is also my husband. I had pointed out this fact myself and also included the business card of our CEO, who's in Switzerland). I had taken care to put the job details/responsibilities closely matching those given at the NOC.
1 year's bank statement which showed the salary credited every month.
Somehow, I was under the impression that Sydney, NS was the tough nut to crack when it comes to the NOC list and ND would be a walk in the park. Apparently not! I had been running around for the PCC, proof of funds and IELTS (overall band 8), all to no avail. I'm genuinely surprised that they didn't even ask for further evidence, which proves what the Seniors have been saying here: there will only be one shot at this; they will not come back to you asking for more evidence.
Anyway, I'm going to give it another try by asking the CEO to fax the CHC directly explaining my job responsibilities. However, I don't think it'd make much of a difference since they have already rejected my case and not asked for further evidence. The only solace is, since they've determined that I'm 'not eligible' they have promised to refund the processing fee within 4 to 6 weeks.
I know it's too early, but is there anybody who has appealed their case after a rejection at the second stage? If yes, please let me know how you went about it.
Good luck to all the applicants out there. I hope you have better luck than me!

May be it is a rumor but one of the poster's mentioned above did get her application rejected and from her postings earlier it had appeared that she was quite positive she would get her PR visa. May it was just a co-incidence that the applicant was from 0213.
