GDAL WriteArray issue

I'm utilizing python GDAL to write a raster data into a .tif file. Here's the code:

import numpy, sys
from osgeo import gdal, utils
from osgeo.gdalconst import *

# register all of the GDAL drivers
gdal.AllRegister()

# open the image
inDs = gdal.Open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\patrick\\Desktop\\tiff elevation\\EBK1KM\\color_a1.tif",GDT_UInt16)
if inDs is None:
  print "couldn't open input dataset"
  sys.exit(1)
else:
  print "opening was successful!"
cols = inDs.RasterXSize
rows = inDs.RasterYSize
bands =  inDs.RasterCount
driver = inDs.GetDriver()
driver.Create("C:\\Documents and Settings\\patrick\\Desktop\\tiff elevation\\EBK1KM\\newfile.tif",cols,rows,3,GDT_UInt16)
outDs = gdal.Open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\patrick\\Desktop\\tiff elevation\\EBK1KM\\newfile.tif")

if outDs is None:
  print "failure to create new file"
  sys.exit(1)


outBand1 = outDs.GetRasterBand(1)
outBand2 = outDs.GetRasterBand(2)
outBand3 = outDs.GetRasterBand(3)
data1 = inDs.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray()
data2 = inDs.GetRasterBand(2).ReadAsArray()
data3 = inDs.GetRasterBand(3).ReadAsArray()

outBand1.WriteArray(data1,0,0)
outBand2.WriteArray(data2,0,0)
outBand3.WriteArray(data3,0,0)

print "before closing out the file"
print outDs.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)
print outDs.GetRasterBand(2).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)
print outDs.GetRasterBand(3).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)

outDs.SetProjection(inDs.GetProjection())
outDs.SetGeoTransform(inDs.GetGeoTransform())

outDs = None
outDs = gdal.Open("C:\\Documents and Settings\\patrick\\Desktop\\tiff elevation\\EBK1KM\\newfile.tif")
print "after reopening"
print outDs.GetRasterBand(1).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)
print outDs.GetRasterBand(2).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)
print outDs.GetRasterBand(3).ReadAsArray(700,700,5,5)

The resultant output between the closing and reopening of the output dataset are different:

before closing out the file
[[ 36  35  55 121   0]
 [ 54   0 111 117   0]
