Did you clear your browser cache? Did you try a different browser or a different computer?

more info:

Setting an album to hidden it only remains hidden until someone views it. Once a person views it, then it's is no longer hidden for that person until they clear their cookies or their cookies expire.

Quote:
After an anonymous user visits the album once, it is "unhidden" for them. This means that they can visit the URL directly, then go up one level and see the album they just visited.

Quote:
Once you've unhidden an album it will be visible via Search and all other Gallery operations. If you want to see what other users see, you have to log out and back in again. Or if you're already a guest, you need to clear your cookies to get a new session.
