strange behavior

I finished my masterpiece hosts.cfg and have had my xymon server up and running for a while but now that I've got client data coming in, I've noticed some very strange behavior.  When I have the host on the front page, all tests show up fine.  When I move the host to a page (first level, using the page command) the tests that depend on client data go "purple" and the data doesn't update.  Also: hosts on pages cannot be seen when I click the "info" column and they're not seen in enable/disable tests either, even when I click on that option from the page they show up on.  I've tried explicitly setting the groups they're in to display the "missing" data but it doesn't help.  I have made some changes... but none that I think would/should be affecting it like this.

I've changed the xymonclient-linux.sh script to use different commands, like adding the -h switch to df, or changing MACHINEDOTS="`hostname -s | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`" (always a short name, always lower case, to address inconsistencies) but as soon as I move them back to the front page, the data shows up again and they're "green".  The data from when they were "missing" still shows as missing in the history...  I'm stumped on this one.  I'm relatively certain the only changes I've made server side are only cosmetic changes to the underlying HTML and CSS files.
I'm using the terabitha RPMs for my server and built from source for my client:xymon.x86_64                         4.3.26-1.el7                   @xymon-testing

I DID change the config so that xymon is at the / of my web server, I'm not hosting anything else here.
I'm relatively certain any client-side changes I've made aren't the problem since it works fine when on the main page.  Any ideas how to fix this?  I've spent a lot of time on this already and I just want to be done with it. :(
Thanks in advance for any help,
