"I checked Swan (3rd ed., 102) and he  says that �apart from� can be used in both senses.  There�s more here: http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/apart-from.
"

Thank feck.. because they both struck me as being right.. I absolutely could not figure out why A was wrong... I feel very Gratified that Michael Swan agrees with me.
