If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it.

i am just guessing, without the text of the error...

but i had a wide variety of LUA errors to this effect just after WoW 3.1 came out, related to a library called "Astrolabe" (which a suprising number of addons use in some form, i guess to access the different components of the minimap, for installing minimap buttons and etc). something about Blizzard's minimap frame assembly changed in WoW 3.1, and Astrolabe had to be updated accordingly.

Astrolabe and all the various addons that use it got updated within about a week of 3.1 coming out. you probably have some old addon(s) still running around that have new version(s) waiting for you. take a look at your LUA error, try to identify which addon is the one actually providing Astrolabe (should be in the file path supplied in the error trace for the Astrolabe-related messages) and make sure you have a current version. install that new version, reload your UI, rinse/repeat as necessary (until you have updated everything that uses Astrolabe and the errors "go away").

hope that helps.
