How I finally got it to sync. Get the latest version link is in this thread somewhere, Comment out the miner-threads line in the config and just let it run for awhile. Every hour or so shut it down and backup the witness_node_data directory. If it crashes go back to the most recent backup that works and keep going. When it's finally fully scynced put the miner-threads line back and start it up to mine.
Yea, I've put probably 12 hours into trying to make it work and I keep getting blockchain errors and witness 98: error =(

I haven't tried this yet! I'll let you know if it works! Thanks for the input.
