perhaps negative g's would have worked to lock the mains down...but who knows.

That would have been something to try. I know it is on the pilot's side somewhere, but not exactly sure where. It does sound as though that was our problem. We did perform dive pull-outs (positive g's trying to get them to lock) and my friend thinks he heard them hit the forward stop but they never locked. Another thing might have been to see if it released after we shut down the forward engine. KD
