The problem was that even with CouchDB you have to have the dedicated server properly setup within War Room. I had some old values from an old server that was using War Room persistence. I just double checked and removed any info that remained from the old serer that was originally registered to the War Room. Once the new server was properly setup in War Room, the Couch worked.

I cannot seem to find the SPOTREP PATROL REP persistence setting. I searched for about 2 hours last night to no avail.
