Chromatography is beautiful...even better than the sample chromatograms I had on hand. As far as I can see, the biggest changes that made it function properly were the installation of the zero dilution liners, use of the bigger id column (though I suspect that my 0.32 mm id column might just have gone bad), and the headspace carrier pressure increase to 48 psi to ensure maximal headspace transfer.
