Superseeker error?

Dear Seqfans, 

Well, I've had a bit of a fever over the last few days and am not fully
recovered (so if I'm overlooking something obvious here I'd like to say
it's because of that..).

Superseeker reports:

Report on [ 0,1,3,10,36,133,495,1846,6888,25705,95931,358018,1336140]:

However, for my sequence below I get:
u[j+3]-3*u[j+2]-3*u[j+1]+u[j] = -2 forall j

What is it I've overlooked?
Sincerely, 
Creighton

Superseeker results:
a(n+2) - 2a(n+1) + a(n) = A001834(n+1) (from this and the first relation
involving A001834 it follows that 4a(n+1) - a(n+2) - a(n) = (-1)^n as
well as
the recurrence relation given for A001834 ) ;
a(n+1) - a(n) = A001075(n+1) (Chebyshev's T(n,x) polynomials evaluated
