The problem was customize. I set the org-user-agenda-files in .emacs,
then load the org-mode.el. This loads org mode at te top of the file,
then sets org-agenda-files to org-user-agenda-files.

The bit I missed was that org-agenda-files were set in customize to nil,
and this change was happening after the assignment. Once I cleared this,
everything works as planned.

Thanks for coming back to me!
