Another thing might have been to see if it released after we shut down the forward engine. KD

I think positive g's work for the nose gear, but negative g's might work for the mains. Reason, nose gear must come down and aft to lock, while the mains must go forward and down to lock. That's why I think positive g's will push the main gear aft towards the retract position..but negative g's might push the mains forward to the down and locked position.
