I believe Kurt's theory would be closest to what actually happened. I did pull only 1yr of hold data before running the missing fix report. Then when pulling down the 1st batch of ptf's I specified the specific ptf's plus pre and corecs. Is there a way to determine when I pulled down the second set of PTF's what hold data came down with it? The hold data is in a unix file and is unreadable when browsing.

Only the 2 year HOLDDATA file contains Fix Category HOLDs, therefore, the first report you ran didn't use the latest Fix Category HOLDs. You then "pulled down and applied" the missing PTFs and reran the report, being surprised to find new missing PTFs. How did you obtain the PTFs? Most likely the 2 year HOLDDATA file was delivered with those PTFs, which contains Fix Category HOLDs. When you reran the report, you were finally using the latest and greatest HOLDs, hence the additional entries in the report.
