Finally got it all connected after checking the wiring about 70 times.
I tried to get the exchange going with the Bus Pirate and the Pony Program and it give me a "Are the connections correct" error.
I have not verified the 3.3 volts from the Bus Pirate board, I plan to look later this evening. I have noted in my scouring the internet of people say to not use the onboard 3.3 within the BP. Some never mention it.
Just a quick update for the forum as the adventure has begun.

UPDATE:
I have verified the 3.3v on the physical board, but when I measure the pins going to the chip itself I get nothing. Looking to see if I can get the 3.3v from the test point to the Bus Pirate 8 pin header.
