Well, just an update, looks like it was me complicating things. I returned to the original code and just updated references like linkage and table names and it worked. Looks like what I missed was that the prior dev had imploded some of those arrays as a SQL strings then dumped the arrays. I looked right past that part and had just created new arrays. Smart guy. Took an array and made it a string. Less overhead! ;) Thanks for the input all.
