issue with getting the BSL running on the MSP430F5438A

I've been having an issue getting the BSL running with the MSP430F5438A.  On the end programming it is an omap3530.

I have the TST and RST pins toggling as expected for the shared JTAG pins.

so TEST starts off low and RST starts off low....250 msec goes by and then

Test Pin is set high....10msec goes by and then (first rising edge)

Test Pin is set low....10msec goes by and then

Test Pin is set high...10 msec goes by and then (2nd rising edge)

RST pin is set high ...10 msec goes by and then

TEST pin is set low....20 msec goes by and then

I try to send the mass erase command.  On the scope everything looks fine for RST and TEST, but the TX from the OMAP to the MSP looks like it is behind held low.....the voltage ends up only being around 200mVolt...it's as if the 430 is holding the pin low.  Anyone have any thoughts or comments?  Thanks.
