Well, the only thing I can think of that happened is the 1.8 switch, could have been part of the problem. I see your chests aren't locked, so I don't see how you couldn't have access, didn't you make a post about not having W/G protection?
Yes, I posted it thou I got Cypriot online and he fixed it. I had access after he got my island protected.
Most likely just a 1.8 glitch, post on Cyp's profile or quote a message from him here and change the title to "awaiting Cyp", should be resolved fairly quickly.
