Thanks to everyone for the advice. Home/limits are working properly now. My primary issue was that I had mis-configured the system so that after a home operation in the positive direction the machine thought it was at the negative soft limit, thus it would not let me jog off the hard limit even with override limits checked. Fixing this allowed the override limits to work properly.
Now I can home the machine and can't jog to the limit switch either way. This does work very nicely. Thanks all!
