Narrative:
On ATC frequency 132.97 cleared to fly 210 degree heading to intercept hmv 156 degree radial, fly shine 5 arrival. Switched to frequency 132.65 ZTL, who queried us on our clearance. He immediately issued us turn to 270 degrees and descent to 17000 ft. On further discussion center explained he understood our clearance on handoff from previous controller was 210 degrees to intercept clt 314 degree radial shine arrival. No apparent traffic conflict, but obvious miscom between controllers.

Title: CLRNC AMENDED RTE CHANGE AS ARTCC RADAR CTLR TECHNIQUE ATC COM MISINTERPRETS THE PREVIOUS CTLR'S CLRNC TO ACR.
Narrative: ON ATC FREQ 132.97 CLRED TO FLY 210 DEG HDG TO INTERCEPT HMV 156 DEG RADIAL, FLY SHINE 5 ARR. SWITCHED TO FREQ 132.65 ZTL, WHO QUERIED US ON OUR CLRNC. HE IMMEDIATELY ISSUED US TURN TO 270 DEGS AND DSCNT TO 17000 FT. ON FURTHER DISCUSSION CTR EXPLAINED HE UNDERSTOOD OUR CLRNC ON HDOF FROM PREVIOUS CTLR WAS 210 DEGS TO INTERCEPT CLT 314 DEG RADIAL SHINE ARR. NO APPARENT TFC CONFLICT, BUT OBVIOUS MISCOM BTWN CTLRS.
