the coins are there.. try bitcoin-qt -rescan
I was able to solve the issue by getting help from #bitcoin-otc from nanotube who told me to do the rescan which worked. Donation sent to #bitcoin-otc on nanotube's request.
I had no idea how fast the response would be here so I think it is only fair to send at least a small token to you as well dirtycat because your solution was correct. Please send over an address and I'll send a few bucks your way.
Thanks everyone.
Cheers!
