So I was hoping that I may have a breakthrough to possibly help but at this stage I am also stumped.

PHD will disable DEC guiding if the star doesn't move enough during calibration. It is likely you need to increase the Calibration step (ms) that defaults to 500 or 750ms I believe with a new installation. This needs to be increased if you're calibrating close to the pole or modify your guiders FL.
