Narrative:
Flight was iad direct swf (newburg, ny). Originally cleared as filed with route being iad...mrb.V501.hgr.V377 har.V31.seg.V106.lhy.V408.V483.filps.swf. Prior to crossing har, we requested after har direct lvz direct huo direct swf. Several mins later we were told we were cleared har direct lvz direct huo direct swf. After crossing lvz, the controller inquired as to where we were going. We told him we were cleared after lvz direct huo. He said no one had informed him of that and gave us a heading to re- intercept V408 as originally cleared while he checked to see who cleared us like that. He came back and said no one said they had given us that routing. Either there was miscom among controllers or between flight crew and controllers.
