Update:

I worked with the code for a bit more this evening and was able to get it to
work correctly.  I had modified my database originally to not have a weight
field.  Then when I was getting errors I put the weight field back in and
put a 0 for each item.  This caused the shipping loop to not find any valid
shipping modes.  I have since changed the weight to 1 for each item and
modified shipping.asc and country.txt for my purposes and everything works
great!  Thanks for your help.

P.S. One wierd odditty is that in my configuration file I have specified to
use shipping.txt for the list of shipping modes however mvend is using
shipping.asc,  any ideas?
