My first inclination would be to jump power directly to the clutch to make sure it isn't operable.
The thing is, you say that the compressor is free, the shop says power is going to the clutch but it isn't operating.
So, why replace the whole compre$$or when it might just need a new clutch? Personally I'd bet it's low on freon and that's why the thing ain't engaging. You don't by chance all of a sudden have the "EC" light on in the AC control panel do you?
