Trekkie,
A whole group of people who care enough to spend their extra time discussing code instead of other things all pretty much agree that the 'sub-panel' cannot have the neutral bonded to the enclosure and that a listed metal raceway that complies with 250.118 can replace the copper,aluminum, or copper-clad aluminum conductor.
I know people who have been doing electrical work forever and still don't get it. Why not print this thread out and show it to them. Better yet, why not have them join the group. Some of the people on this BB are the most logical and thorough people I have been fortunate enough to find for opinions. I would not bow down to anyone regardless of how long they have been doing things or how adamant they might be. I have found that adamant people got adamant because they didn't really know what they were talking about and they didn't like being told that.
