Okay, I have really narrowed my problem down. When I just pass the stored procedure through, it generates in the GridView fine. But when I attempt to perform manipulation on the GridView by using e (which is GridViewRowEventArgs) I get an error. For some reason ASP.NET 2.0 thinks the GridView doesn't contain these cells or values or something akin to that. Basically what I am doing is:
e.Row.Cells(1).Text = "Hello World!"
But it thinks the cells don't exist.

I discovered that for some reason e.Row.Cells(6) is not being viewed as a DataControl of RowType DataRow (DataControlRowType.DataRow). Any ideas why this might be?

I fixed it. Basically there were two problems:
(1) I wasn't making sure that the row I was handling was a DataRow. I fixed this by adding:
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
(code modifying GridView columns)
End If
(2) While troubleshooting I had changed e.Row.Cells(6).Text to e.Row.Cells(6).ToString, which was passing the entire cell rather than just the text, so I changed it back to .Text.
