3.2" Touch w/ SD correct SPI Pins but but still no SD Function

Okay I know there is TONS of info on this topic on the net and I have run into what seems to be a unique bit though I hope not. I have a SainSmart 3.2 Touch TFT w/ SD Card and the associated V1.0 shield that everyone flips the wiring on. But I have seen posts where people say theirs is fine. I absolutely tripple checked the wiring with my multimeter. Its right on mine.

50,51,52,53 on my Mega 2560 to 35,37,36,38 on the TFT Screen. I even tried the reverse wiring.

My question pertains to the software side of things. it should be regardless which SD library I choose... right?

I dont have much experience with tinyFAT.h but I have used SD.h and SdFat.h in the past with other shields just fine. In digging around, I see one has been made for UTFT_tinyFAT.h. And I ended up trying all 3. When using the standard SD.h or SdFat.h I can not get the card to initialize with SD.begin. Now when I use UTFT_tinyFAT.h... file.initFAT(); is saying its working in an if statement. However, I cant do anything with the card. read/write/etc. So I dont believe it. I can not get any of the demos to work and the with the pictures on the card.

I am slogging through the wealth of information on this damn thing but nothing really pertains to my situation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks alot.
