Can't Resources.Load ScriptableObject in Static class

I'm trying to save and increment a version number via a custom scriptable object that's in my resources folder. (Yes I have double checked the file names are correct and they are in a properly named Resources directory at it's root.)

Here's the VersionScriptableObject Class:

 public class VersionScriptableObject : ScriptableObject {
     public string Version;
 }

No matter how I cast it, it doesn't seem to work.

         VersionScriptableObject Vso = Resources.Load ("Version") as VersionScriptableObject;
         Debug.Log (Vso.ToString ());

This returns null for Vso.

 VersionScriptableObject[] arVso = (VersionScriptableObject[]) Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll(typeof(VersionScriptableObject));

This gives me an array of 0 entries.

         Object GoVso = Resources.Load ("Version");
         Debug.Log (GoVso.GetType().ToString());

This tells me it's a UnityEngine.TextAsset. Which I can read from but I can't modify.

Anyone have any ideas?
