Andy, I think I know what's happening.  I assume when you upload to
LoTW, you are only uploading the most recently worked QSOs (those you
have not uploaded before).  And you are uploading this same ADIF file
to both LoTW and Club Log.  This file will only contain a small
portion of your log.  By definition, because you are uploading these
QSOs to LoTW for the first time, they will all be unconfirmed.  When
you later import the LoTW report file into DX4WIN to confirm your
QSOs, DX4WIN will mark those imported QSOs as confirmed by LoTW.  But
the incremental LoTW export flow will never export these QSOs again,
after they have been confirmed, because they had already been exported
to LoTW.

Club Log has two upload options:

1.  Upload new QSOs, but don't delete existing QSOs in Club Log
2.  Delete all QSOs in Club Log, then upload the QSOs

The second option will allow you to upload your confirmed QSOs.
However, because it will remove all your existing QSOs in Club Log,
you will need to export your ENTIRE DX4WIN log to ADIF format, then
upload that large ADIF file to Club Log.  You can do this via the File
| Import/Export menu item.

This should solve your problem.
