Was your classifier wrapped in the InputMappedClassifier before you trained it?

The BayesNet classifier applies the same discretization filter to data
that it is generating predictions for as it was trained on. You don't
actually need to discretize the data yourself beforehand.

Rule of thumb for Weka is that training and test datasets have to have
the *exact* structure: same # attributes, same order of attributes,
same type of attributes, same # and order of labels for nominal
attributes. That way you can avoid problems further down the track.
