I'll still believe it when I see it. I wouldn't be surprised if they changed their mind and kicked the weapons inspectors out tomorrow. North Korea has never honored agreements that they've signed, so I'm dubious. Maybe a year from now I can say I was wrong...but this could easily be a ploy to extract more concessions and/or sell their nukes for cash instead of disarming them.
