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.
