Learned something by exploration.  You cannot use subaccounts for vendors that you want to send 1099s to.  I had to go to the GL, remove the designation of subaccount and make these primary accounts to have the vendor report show properly.  Interestingly enough when I had vendors in subaccounts (like G&A, with contractors nested under G&A) I would get a vendor report that would change each time that I ran it--rather random.  This seemed to solve my issue.
