Google Webmaster Tools Identifying as Mobile?

Hi everyone.

I have a client that wants to use Google's Authorship meta tags.

The tags have been included in the Joomla template file.

I wanted to test the meta tags using Google's Webmaster tools.  If I do so, and Mobile Joomla is Active, Webmaster tools tells me it can't verify the authorship tag, AND shows the mobile version of the website.

If I disable Mobile Joomla, Webmaster tools verifies the authorship tags just fine.

You can see the difference in the attached screenshots.  In the screenshot with a thumbnail photo of a woman, everything is working correctly.  In the screenshot without the thumbnail for the woman, Webmaster Tools is not verifying the authorship tag AND is showing a mobile version of the site.

Can anyone offer advice about how to sort this out?

Thanks.

What MobileJoomla version do you use and what mobile plugins are enabled?

Webmaster Tools uses "Google-Site-Verification/1.0" user-agent for verification. Mobile-AMDD plugin correctly detects it as desktop browser, but Mobile-Scientia does not.
