wp_get_attachments issue on gallery (post format)

    Looking at the codex for querying all my attachments I was able to successfully create a page template (page-gallery) that accurately showed all the images from all my posts:

    <div id="tile_cage" style="position:relative">
<ul id="tiles">
<?php

	$args = array(
   'post_type' => 'attachment',
   'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   'numberposts' => -1,
   'post_status' => null,

   // 'post_parent' => $post->ID
  );

  $attachments = get_posts( $args );
  if ( $attachments ) {
  foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {

  // Method #1: Allows you to define the image size
  // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10389519/wordpress-get-image-url-currently-using-wp-get-attachment-url
  $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, "large");
  if ($src) {
  // build link
  echo '<li><a href="' . $src[0] . '"class="fancybox"' . '>' . wp_get_attachment_image($attachment->ID, 'medium') . '</a>' . '</li>' ;
  }

  }

  } ?>

     </ul>
   </div><!-- tiles_cage //-->

    Now I took the very same code and created a format-gallery.php which reads like this:

    <div id="tile_cage" style="position:relative">
<ul id="tiles">

<?php
$args = array(
   'post_type' => 'attachment',
   'post_mime_type' => 'image',
   'numberposts' => -1,
   'post_status' => null,
   'post_parent' => $post->ID
  );

  $attachments = get_posts( $args );
  if ( $attachments ) {
  foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {

  // Method #1: Allows you to define the image size
  // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10389519/wordpress-get-image-url-currently-using-wp-get-attachment-url
  $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, "large");
  if ($src) {
  // build link
  echo '<li><a href="' . $src[0] . '"class="fancybox"' . '>' . wp_get_attachment_image($attachment->ID, 'medium') . '</a>' . '</li>' ;
  }

  }

  } ?>

  </ul>
  </div><!-- tiles_cage //-->

    Notice the only thing I did was have the same post refer to itself

    'post_parent' => $post->ID

    This yields a page that doesn’t grab any of the images I queried. Source code reveals:

    <ul id="tiles">

  </ul>
  </div><!-- tiles_cage //-->

    I am not sure why this has to be difficult, so I went back to the Codex and just copied its example of nabbing all the attachments of a post to the same effect. No images. I am not sure what I am doing wrong..

    Alright scratch what I said. I have gone thru a couple dozen different sites that pretty much say this is how one grabs the attachments of a post:

    global $post; // refers to the post or parent being displayed
$attachements = query_posts(
  'post_type' => 'attachment',  // only get "attachment" type posts
  'post_parent' => $post->ID,   // only get attachments for current post/page
  'posts_per_page' => -1        // get all attachments
);
foreach($attachements as $attachment){
  // Do something exceedingly fancy
}

    Now just to be sure I have made sure that the $post->ID is showing up by running

    echo $post->ID

    This correctly shows me the id of the post. (119 in this case)

    However, unless I remove the post_parent parameter all together I do not see any images that are attached to that post. I am only able to either see all my attachments (all images) or none of them at all. Here is the code that I am running on format-gallery.php:

    <?php echo $post->ID; ?>

<?php
$tile_grabs = array(
   'post_parent' => $post->ID,
   'post_type' => 'attachment',
   'numberposts' => -1
  );

  $attachments = query_posts( $tile_grabs );
  if ( $attachments ) {
  foreach ( $attachments as $attachment ) {

  // Method #1: Allows you to define the image size
  // http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10389519/wordpress-get-image-url-currently-using-wp-get-attachment-url
  $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment->ID, "large");
  if ($src) {
  // build link
  echo '<li><a href="' . $src[0] . '"class="fancybox"' . '>' . wp_get_attachment_image($attachment->ID, 'medium') . '</a>' . '</li>' ;
  }

  }

  } ?>

    I have tried using the get_post_ID() parameter in the post_parent. Both successfully retrieve the exacting ID I want but no images are every shown. I am at a loss.

    One thing that I want to throw into this cause it might be related is that I am using custom post formats. In this case, its called format-gallery.php.

    I have my single.php file simply doing this to refer to the right format file:

    <?php get_header(); ?>

<?php
// quick check for post format //
 if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
          if(!get_post_format()) {
          get_template_part('format', 'single');
          } else {
          get_template_part('format', get_post_format());
          }
        endwhile;
        endif; ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

    Here is a link to the full code.

    Here is the full code that I am using, maybe someone can help out.
