USB/Virtual Serial Port - No Data Read & No Errors

I have a problem reading data from the STEVAL-MKI005V1 development board for the LIS3LV02DL accelerometer. 
 
It's a USB/virtual serial port connection to the PC.  I started out testing the connection with hyper terminal, which worked.  I even changed the COM# settings (i.e. 2, 3, and 8) and still everything works.  However, once I try this in Labview, I do not get any data read in.  I also do not get an error.  I do get a status code, 1073676294, which I've learned is ok.  I've tried numerous things to get this to work. 
 
I first started with a simple write then read.  I'm now configuring and opening the port, writing a command, waiting a certain amount of time to read, reading data, and then closing the port.  I'm also using the "number of bytes at serial port" option from a property node for the byte count on the VISA read.   
 
I've done this before with other serial devices; albeit, not a USB/virtual serial port connection. 
 
Maybe it's a USB/virtual serial port thing?!?!?!?! 
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
