Have you given this a try:
[UPDATE ZIP] Stock 1.2 update.zip flashable from CWM - xda-developers
If you had upgraded to 1.1 or higher it may have messed with the file system in such a way that returning to a fulling working 1.0.1 isn't possible. You can try reinstalling stock 1.2 via your bootable CWM card you made for your rooting try. Just something to try to get your nook back to fully working stock stack.
I'll give that a shot on Sunday. I go on shift (I work at a hospital) so for the next 4 days it's work/sleep/work and that's it. 12hr shifts turn into 15-16hr shifts.
Thanks!
