I'm not sure what you mean by 'checked off' the value for SF_SHADOW_MAP wasn't checked, so I checked it, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I checked the properties of my model alongside two other models that I know work and couldn't find any differences, i'll keep looking for anything, but if anyone thinks of anything let me know! EDIT: found one difference, under the block "NiNode" (BSFadeNode on my model) only has one difference under the entry "Num Extra Data List" is set to 1 on the model I'm referencing and 0 on my model. I changed this but it didn't appear to have any effect.
