Thank you for the suggestion- but this is a fresh installation of the Freenas 8.2 release p1 and fresh jails .... BUTTT your suggestion an idea of "dirty config" data got me thinking.
I've loaded my config file in every situation and have yet to config the jail and plugins on a "fresh" setup without loading my config file. I'll give this a shot and report back.
Well- i've tried a fresh install without loading my config file to no avail. Same results.
