I was told by Hardi that the only reason they recommend non-flexi is because it's cheaper and it's the screws that are primarily used for the sticking and the adhesive is used purely to remove any voids. So no problem using either.
The hardie rep has been on here and said exactly that mate, I'll have to have a look for the post. It seems daft to use 2 different types of adhesive, that's why I use SPF for sticking the boards and then the tiling.
