Has anyone else encountered this?

I'm working on a commercial and the editor extended the scene 5 seconds from the original time. This scene has several element layers in it and before I had to extend the camera movement, everything locked nicely to the camera as it should. Now that I've adjusted the camera move for the longer clip, element no longer tracks with the scene.

Here's what I've done to attempt fixing this with no success:

deleting the camera and pasting a new camera in with the new keyframes
deleting the caches (image and disc cache)
restarting the computer

The only thing I can do to fix this is to literally start from scratch and paste items from the old element layer to the new one. What's odd about this approach is that even with the same information as the old element layer, I still have to adjust things to place them approximately where the old one is. Shouldn't the same data have the same result?

Here's the computer specs

Intel 980x i7
24GB DDR 1333 RAM
Nvidia 580GTX 1.5 GB video card
After Effects CS 6 (most recent version)
Windows 7 Pro (Service Pack 1)

Most recent drivers have been downloaded.

Any help would be much appreciated. I would hate to have to recreate this whole project.

I'm about 3 more error messages from opening up my bottle of Bushmills.
