Cheryl -
If there was any doubt that I adored you, let me remind everyone: YOU ROCK!
It was indeed a problem with my .htaccess file. I didn't even think
of that! I was obsessing over php code and web logs but hadn't tried
messing with the .htaccess.
I went in and reordered a few of the rewrite rules and I actually got
a pingback through! THANKS!
Steve and Marcus thank you as well for your thought and suggestions.
There may be more tweaking ahead for me but at least I've now seen it
work and know where the road block was.
Thanks,
- Dave

Have you checked in with your web host's support service or forums?
I use Dreamhost, and every once in awhile something happens that seems
to be unique to their hosting service. I can't remember any exact
example, but I think I recall something with pretty permalinks and the
way my server handled mod_rewrite (it was on but not working as
expected). I ended up making a custom mod to my .htaccess file to fix
it. Another time I found the solution to a host/plugin incompatibility
in the forums.
Once I had to edit my xmlrpc file to get my site to accept crossposts
from Flickr Blip - they stopped working for *no apparant reason* - I
had not done an upgrade or anything. Here's my reference post about
that, in case it leads you to something useful:

I have a gut feeling that the problem relates to using pretty
permalinks. There are functions in wordpress which attempt to get
the post ID from the permalink, and these functions are called when a
pingback comes in.
On my test blog (with default permalink structure) pingbacks work
fine. But at DavidMeade.com where permalinks are in the form of
http://www.davidmeade.com/archives/419 the pingbacks aren't working.
I'm wondering if wordpress is trying to get the post id in some way
that is not compatible with the permalink structure I'm using.
I just don't know enough about this process works to know exactly
where it might be breaking.

well it has the same permissions as every other wordpress file on
the site.
For testing I changed it to 774 and still no good.

just will not receive pingbacks or trackbacks. It seems to

ok, but it doesn't receive them.
you probably checked this, but is the xmlrpc.php file in your wp
folder with proper permissions/owner?
