I was having 2 issues. The first being the I was not waiting long enough.
The second was that my domain admin account that I was logged into the server
with did not have any client permissions to the PF. So when I would try to
open the contents of the PF in System Manager I would get access denied or an
empty folder.....

Thanks.
