Yep that did it.
For hours I tried a lot of differnet things could not get it to unlock connected to the computer.
I followed the following:

And used the manual exe from SSKUSers.net and the nbh from the link above for Verizon phones.
I had to use the NueStorage Manager to format my SD in FAT32.
I backed up the fiels on my SD and formated it, and followed the rest of the directions, it worked perfect.
Note: The manual exe that was with the nbh I used didn't work and if your SD is not formated with a good tool in FAT32 it will not load the image.
After I got it unlocked, I was able to flash it with out a problem.
Note: This is my fourth TP, the other 3 I could unlock from USB and my computer with Active Sync, this phone I just got yesterday, I had to use the SD flash method for what ever reason. I did notice that the SPL on the unlocked new phone was a .40 if that makes any difference.
Hope this helps for some one, I know I wasted a few hours trying to figure it out.
Thanks -
