Chris can you give it another try? The fix I put in last time was un-fixed for some reason.
For future reference: last time I was able to reproduce the problem and was able to fix it by going into the Admin section for Awards and on the Settings tab, the "enable awards" wasn't checked. So I checked it and that seemed to fix things (don't ask me why).
Anyway it was un-checked again so I checked it. Hopefully that works again!
