node.tpl.php works in localhost not on server in Zen subtheme

Having a strange problem. I'm porting a Wordpress theme using Zen and for some reason stylesheet and template changes that work on my development server (MAMP) aren't showing up when I move the site online to the production server. Right now my main issue is a custom node template I made isn't working properly, the extra voting forms module component I added displays on my local machine but it is not loading on the server.

I've flushed caches using Admin menu, switched "rebuild theme registry" on and off, changed and resaved the selected theme, renamed the subtheme in .info, cleared both caches in Boost and Performance, turned off all caching.... and nada. There is supposed to be a voting form on the left side of the content, but it doesn't display. Looking at it in Firebug, the node content isn't even displaying the same way on the my local machine as it does on the server>

Works (local):

<div id="node-1537" class="node ntype-drigg odd clearfix">
     <div class="offset">
        <h2>
        <div id="vote_block"> <---content piece I need to appear
        <div class="econews-content">
        <div class="storydata">
        <div class="drigglinks">
</div>
</div>

Doesn't (server)

<div id="node-1752" class="node node-teaser node-type-drigg">
    <div class="node-inner">
       <h2 class="title">
       <div class="meta">
       <div class="content">
       <ul class="links inline">
</div>
</div>

Clearly it's changing the node template for some reason, but I don't understand why since the theme folders are exactly the same. Not sure where to start on this one....
