I ended up working around it in a way that I personally hate, but was left with little other options. I attempted to process it with the Cellebrite UFED Touch, Paraben's Device Seizure 6.5, Sustein's Secureview, and Oxygen, and received no results.
I ended up speaking with both parties and the court, and presented the last resort option, where I placed a Blackberry App on the device called SMS Backup. The application created an XML and a Excel Work Book of the entire contents of the SMS and MMS on the device. It was nice because the device only displayed about 40 SMS message, but it exported more than 1200, and located the ones that each party was wanting. As a further evaluation of the integrity of the extraction, I compared the SMS times with call detail records and were able to receive sufficient match that everyone accepted the authenticity.
It was not the way I would prefer to do it, but in the civil case it was the best option I felt that I had and everyone was satisfied.
