Hi Aaron, I think - as with the Smallworld question on this group - that the first move should be to inspect the source data in the FME Viewer. If there's no attributes there then it's obviously a reading issue. If there are attributes then it's either a transformation or writing issue.
My suspicion is that it is being lost during the transformation to points. I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour or not - I'm looking into it. But our raster handling is improving all the time, so you might find that trying it in a 2007 beta version would give a better result. Our support team isn't supposed to handle "how-to" type questions, but for a new user we do like to assist - so if there's no progress you could send your workspace, log and (a small sample of) the source dataset for us to investigate.
