Here is my problem. I am building a set of modules to sync remote objects from another server with nodes in Drupal. The particular module that I am finishing is backup mechanism in the case the remote server is not responding. The data is stored and the calls are rerun when the service is back up. This happens during cron. When a call comes back it returns a unique identifier for the object that I need to store in the node that is associated with it. My problem is that both node_save and db_query are failing to update existing nodes.
I have found some people with a similar issue here:

Any thoughts?

Here's what I'm doing
Here's what I'm doing during a cron run that works for me. In my case I'm not using revisions.
$node = node_load($nid, NULL, TRUE);
// Update my CCK field
$node->field_total_sqft[0]['value'] = 1000;
node_save($node);
Do you get a specific error during the save?
Right
That's what my code looks like. I tried to dd() the output of mysql_error() right after node_save, but it returned an empty string. Nothing in watchdog.

Solution
Made sure revisions were off. Used node_load($nid, NULL, TRUE); instead of node_load($nid);.
Rock.
