Nope
I never did make it through at that border crossing, but I also didn't give it another shot after that first day.
What frankly never occurred to me at the time, but would be something for you to consider based on your own values, is that perhaps a bribe would have made it all work. I've never really offered one in my travels, and if they were asking for one, I was missing the cues. It might work.
Post here to let me know what you end up doing and what happens!
