I may be on to something. I've discovered that I may have some incompatibilities between how I have Ivy configured (the Ivy settings file) and how my Artifactory is configured. I am in the process of re-configuring both to see if that fixes the issue. Unfortunately I am also experiencing some significant stability problems with my Artifactory server so I have to figure that out as well. When it rains, it pours. I appreciate the responses very much. I will post again after my testing is complete.
