Thanks for your reply Malcolm. I really appreciate all of your help. Based on your advice, I did some testing and added some views that are under my myapps directory and they immediately worked. Changing to a view name in any other directory besides where my main app lives seems to fail. This is something that was working prior to upgrading to 1.0.
