I know you don't want to hear this Patrick, but this is a valid denial.
Looking at the dates on the Emails, the request was not approved by you to the OpenSRS system until the 9th, and that would mean that it was not sent to the Registry, and then to NSI Registrar, until the 9th. Presuming the expiration date was the 9th, that is a valid reason for denial. I always recommend people transfer their domain names FAR in advance of the expiration. Of course, I recommend transferring domains from Verisign's NSI Registrar even if they have years until expiration. Especially since you don't lose any time that is remaining on the domain, since the year you pay for is added on to the end of that.
