One of the first things you do is set almost all the pins to output.

I seem to be having a lot of senior moments lately...this being another one. I should have caught that....once I set TRISB to provide for inputs on the pins I had connected to SQW/_INTB and _INTA the alarms worked as intended, thus indicating to me that current time and alarms were being correctly set at programming time even though I couldn't see that they were because of lack of a LCD.
Thanks again Darrel!
