HLSL Blank Screen - Fresh DX9/Mame Install

[NinjaZero]

I have finished building my cab and have everything just about working great.  I am trying to get HLSL (Love HLSL Vector Glow) working and did the following.

Installed DX9 runtimes (including updates)
Installed Mame 0.174 "-cc"
installed Shadow-mask.png and others in Artwork folder (made sure everything is in right place)
Installed *.fx files in HLSL folder

I get no errors when I run the game via verbose mode, except that I get a greyish box roughly the size of the game screen.  I can hear the games running and if I hit tab I can see the menu but I do not see the game running behind it.  Only what appears to be a blank screen.

I deleted my ini and re-created it with mame -cc then I ran mame with only the -hlsl_enable flag but I get the same thing.  Here is the output of my -verbose output with the supplied mami.ini file.  If anyone has anything I can try please let me know. 


##UPDATE##
HLSL Works in 0.169 - Tried to downgrade and noticed that something changed in 0.170 because after that it no longer works on my system.  Still I would appreciate any advice.

##OUTPUT## 0.174
