Didn't seem to work for me. But I did determine that #default_values are not 
populating when the field type is a textfield. It works fine on all other field 
types.

I inherited most of the code for this site and I wonder if there is some 
function that is giving problems for the CCK textfield.

My next step is to load this in a fresh Drupal install and see if it exists 
there as well.
