I2S not opening on SSP 1.7.5

I've got an old project that was running on SSP 1.2.1 on a S5D9 and running sort of right.  It has some sort of bug in the I2C driver that another project (on the same board) running on SSP 1.7.5 does not so I figured I'd port things to that platform and work from there.

That's where the trouble is coming in.  On this platform, I'm having problems opening the I2S channel (the other project, which is also on SSP 1.7.5 has no problem doing that). I've looked at the generated code for that and find no substantial differences between them.  What it's doing on this one is that it gets to the code in r_ssi.c

    if (NULL != p_cfg->p_transfer_rx)
    {
        p_cfg->p_transfer_rx->p_cfg->p_info->p_src = (void *) HW_SSI_RxAddrGet(p_ctrl->p_reg);
        err = ssi_transfer_configure(p_cfg, p_feature, p_cfg->p_transfer_rx, SSP_SIGNAL_SSI_RXI);
        SSI_ERROR_RETURN((SSP_SUCCESS == err), err);
    }

And this has got a p_transfer_rx (I don't need to read from this thing; it's master to my audio amps) and when it gets the the ssi_transfer_configure it returns SSP_ERR_IRQ_BSP_DISABLED which is true enough.  So it is in the other project that doesn't have this problem too. I don't need to read these things, just write 'em

I've gone though the properties of all these blocks and compared them to the project that works and I don't see a difference at all.  I'll attach the generated code here too (I think I did anyway)

This is leaving me with one of those eh? things... I don't see a difference between the running and non-running one but for the life of me I can't figure out why it doesn't like it.  I'm guessing there is some setting somewhere else that's a problem but don't know where to look for this...

Any hints?
