FYI,
As mentioned in another thread I updated to the rooted Rogers rom, called up support and managed to get a network refresh. I then restored CM6 with the 3.22.26.17 radio and am back in business.
Got a text from Rogers on Friday informing me that my IMEI number is added to the waiver database so I can now go ahead and sign that silly thing. As mad as I was earlier in the week I'm now feeling pretty Zen!
