New KDE4 iconset not activated correctly

I have created my first iconset for KDE4 and am having some problems with it. I have used oxygen as the framework for it and edited that. I have been careful to use the same names for apps and folder icons so that it should work as a direct drop-in replacement. This includes not only the png's but also the svgz's. It seems to install ok and shows the correct preview images when selecting the set but once activated the icons do not change.
If I go to set a custom icon (change a folder icon for example) it shows my folder icons as the only available icons and will change the icon for that particular folder but the default icons remain the original oxygen ones. The same is true for applications, when I go to set an individual application's icon only my icons are available (also true if I have an icon in my set that also exists in hicolor) and it will change but only if I do it manually one by one. It's like there is some cache telling it to use the oxygen icons regardless of the fact that my set is selected.
This is not my first kde iconset but it is my first one for kde4. Any ideas? Is this a known bug with 4.0 perhaps?
PS: I am using kde4 from the debian experimental repo.
