I forgot to mention that, upon a successful index, new tasks began working as expected, I think this occurred when upgrading from 0.24-4 to 0.24-6 however during the installation (and reinstallation) I did a complete reinstall of the platform, restoring my data and encountering the same issue.
One person does not a FAQ make, but in the hopes its indexed somewhere people may be able to find this result quickly from a web search.
