Hi, thanks for getting back to me.
I definitely have all my models listed in the fixtures collection.
What we just discovered after a lot of testing is that it had to do
with $useTable being set to false. For some reason that just throws
everything out of whack. If anybody gets this in the future, remember
that when using fixtures/designing models that you don't need to put
$useTable=false in, as you're technically using test tables!
Cheers.
