Hi Dan, Ahmed,

Thanks for your response. I can rule out the hypervisor theory as the ms was 
migrated to a new node and all hypervisors were reinstalled. I had previously 
used phpMyAdmin to check for the paths and have looked through the database 
manually (took just over an hour) with no results, I will dump and  grep the 
results tonight, posting the results back to here and dev if I find anything.

Thanks,
Marty Sweet
