The first statement returned two rows. I removed these entries from the database and was able to get pass the charater screen and into the zone. I'm not sure if this did it because I did alot of other data normalization and came up with a completly different database than the one I initially started with. But it works.
Very possible... Incorrect handling of NULLS is often the source of many problems. If you could recreate it and verify for sure it happened right there (Backup your database, put the original database back in, test, remove the offending entries, test) and let us know exactly what stage of the zone server boot it occured at, we could put some checks in the code to make the server more robust when it encounters bad data...
