Robin:  As expected, this little test found my problem right away.  I 
hadn't properly qualified my Table in statement:
dataTable = Table(reportData)

Because of this it was using the table class from sqlobject I believe 
which of course is not a flowable.  Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll 
definitely try to do better in the future.
