Google Earth Community: line color changes

I'm having the same problem. I create paths in GE 4 with colors, then upload the kmz file to my server to view in Google Maps and the lines are all transparent blue. Here is a sample kml file with a red line that becomes transparent blue in Google Maps. I merely created a new folder, added a path, modified the color to red (with default 100% opacity, 1.0 width):
