I don't really know what the issue was, but the steps that finally 
resolved it for me was to rename the existing bbvar directory and create a 
fresh new one. This started to show incoming client data. I then used 
rsync to sync across the historical data again and things have kept 
working.
I've even removed the .cfg from the end of the included files again and 
enabled all the dspinclude options again with no reoccurrence of the 
issue.

Thanks,
