So I'm kind of at a loss.

No problems m8, i misinterpreted people on a regular basis, you can almost set your watch by it!
If its saying it sent it fine, then it seems like paypal IS sending data back. The reason I suggested it is because its a well documented and frequent problem with IPN, people trying to test a script on a server that isn't connect-able to paypal. As-long as your server is capible of accepting traffic on port 80 then it *should* be fine!
It doesn't look to me like the DB is at fault as we would have SQL errors, all we seem to have is INVALID being sent back from paypal (is that correct, or am i making this up i haven't had my morning coffee yet you see.)
Just to be on the safe side, do some checks to see if paypal is posting the data.
I did find this, it may or may not help:
