Thanks, I appreciate the help and input.
Unfortunately though, it did not work

Any other thoughts as to why this could be occurring?

I've been reading and searching through this forum and I saw a somewhat similar issue whereby the outcome was that the person was also creating and using a mysql connection via php's mysql_connect command and that apparently this command can re-use currently open database connections. My mysql_connect command has the new_link parameter set to true to ensure that an new connection is made and an existing one isn't re-used. Is it possible that vBulletin doesn't have the same parameter set and it's trying to re-use the mysql connection I have already opened?
