Excess baggage fee stopover in DXB

I am moving back to Texas from Jakarta and figured I would try EK for the first time. I have 5 large bags+ golf clubs. I paid the excess fee on-line in Jakarta for 2 bags. I arrived Monday @ 1155AM from Jakarta and departing today in F to IAH.

To my surprise checking in today EK once again charged me for 2 extra bags. The thing is last night under "manage my reservations" I looked at the box to add baggage and I could not. So I figured it was a one-time charge. The agent made a phone call and said "sorry have to charge you again". Needless to say after paying $6100 for a one-way F ticket I am not impressed. I have done the same on Cathay and SQ never been charged for a few day layover.

If this is indeed EK policy, great way to drive away paid F.
