Mike,  
My K2/100 is also set up with my KAT100/ KAP100 in a separate EC2 enclosure.  Last month I experienced a similar problem on 30 meters.  Again I disconnected the KAP100 and KAT100 running the K2 with my internal KAT2 internal tuner.  The KAT2 tuned everything fine.  I reconnected everything, and then retuned every band using a dummy load. No improvement.  I checked my coax, BALUN and ladder line to my antenna.  I couldn't find any problems but adjusted the routing of my ladder line and then everything tuned up fine.  I really don't think I fixed anything it just seemed to clear itself.  

 I know this doesn't help your situation, but at least you know your  not the only with this problem.  I would be interested in hearing any solutions or recommendations that you discover.
