I sub'd the tier_pricing tag with a iclog tag that basically writes all of the passed parameters to a log file and the log file captured the details and no errors were recorded in the catalog error.log.

I proceeded to take the original tier_pricing tag and commented out the actual query call which was in fact the problem.  Thank God for the mailing archives, I found a code snippet by Kevin Walsh that utilized the db->query version of the DB access which appears to work just find and no errors...

Can someone that is more IC/Perl savvy explain why the $Tag->query would not work but the $db->query would?
