Hi Ben,
I am most grateful for your work in identifying the issue in a timely fashion. The system is working perfectly after setting up a new PayPal developers account. I've now transferred it to the organization's true PayPal account and they are now receiving registrations to their event and are happy with the results. Thank you!
I've setup their registration system as a volunteer and have requested that they make a donation to FormTools for the trouble you went through. I'll check back with them in a week and if they have not made a donation then I will make a donation myself. Your tool is awesome and I fully support your plan to provide a paid version. I look forward to 2.1 and, again, offer my help (documentation, beta-testing, whatever). You know how to contact me and perhaps a beer is in order!
As to the issue, something funky was going on with my old PayPal dev account that allowed it to accept a payment but pass on an UNVERIFIED response to FormTools. Checking the database via phpmyadmin indicated the records were there but "is_finalized" was set to "no".
Adding a mailer to the last else statement in ipn.php shed light on the situation.
Hopefully this will relieve pressure on you and help others to troubleshoot their issues.
Cheers,
Scott

PHP Code:
// oh-oh, something either went wrong, the payment didn't go through ...
else
{
mail("youremail@example.com", "Data from PayPal", $result);
}
