Hi Fred, I doubt His-trap column be any better. I never found much a difference between these resins or columns. If you want to try, use His-Trap HP, not His-Trap FF.
Doing batch binding may help you figure out the problem. In some cases, protein binds better in batch mode. You can take beads out at time intervals up to overnight for binding analysis. I guess not working means the protein in the flow-through. Sometimes for native purification, proteins don't come out of a column. But never experienced anything like this under denatured conditions.
