Just wanted to update that after 3 days, I've finally got control of my own coins! This was a time consuming nightmare to deal with! Though most of the blame falls to instawallet and their not so great support. A little heads up that the site was about to go down for 24 hours would have been nice. Or perhaps not pruning my wallet 2 hours before my transfer was going through.

I'm just glad I can finally move on from this not so simple or instant transaction. Thank you bitinstant for at least providing this medium of communication. You did resolve your side of the problem pretty quickly. Unfortunately for me, it just led to more problems which were out of your control.
