WORK PERMIT! OH YEAH!
Finally after such a long time of uncertainty, we have got our 3 year work permit today! 
Got a phone call from Immigration this morning saying there was a problem with my LTSSL Work Permit Application and to call them ASAP! I did and was told I wasn't eligable
because the LTSSL requires a bachelor degree for my occupation. I was certain when I read the ANZSCO code for my role it said bachelor degree or 5 years experience, but apparently this is for the SMC route and not LTSSL.
So, after a couple of minutes of crapping myself she told me I was eligable for an Essential Skills Work Permit and if I wanted she could grant me a 3 year work permit today!
I had already told her planned to apply for PR via SMC anyway so this is just perfect for us, and just checked on the immi website and can see the 3 year work permit has been granted!
YES
YES YES YES YES YES

Re: WORK PERMIT! OH YEAH!
Thanks everyone!
So what started as an emmigration to Australia in May 2009 ends up with us being settled in New Zealand in March 2010.
Never saw that coming but SOOOO glad it has!
