Hi Isaac,
to define the problem better ei to find out if this is data related or
software related problem I suggest you do the following:

1. get ensembl <-> reactome set (through ensembl id)
2. get local <-> ensembl (through affy id)

then manually see if there is an intersection between those sets? If there
is this is a software problem, if not it is a data problem

I hope i understood your linking correctly :)

a.
