Both get fetched and stored seperately. You will need a custom helper to get around that. Also, try the cacheability engine on their site to see if their content is being made uncacheable by them somehow. There are also some refresh_pattern settings to force certain types of content to be kept longer than is usually good or wanted by the owners. access.log is kind of where you want to look for HIT/MISS details to see if you are saving anything useful, not store. store.log can only tell you that something _can_ be cached, not whether its generating any HITS.
