I am using the latest version (1.6 now I believe). I wanted to report back that I was able to get this working. For some reason this started working w/o any apparent changes to the project. Even in examining the raw request at the time it appeared to be sending the same exact request pre and post this actually working. I did notice after upgrading to the latest version of ReadyAPI that there appear to be improvements in the authorization manager which helps me in moving these tests from environment to environment although I don't believe that was the root cause of my issue. Thanks for the ideas, I appreciate it!
