300CD trunk won't open

Guess my previous post was too verbose. Verbose ist verboten, ya?
Problem: trunk latch won't disengage with the key turned to ANY position. Cylinder has just been rekeyed and lubricated but when I install it, the lock 'button' doesn't go all the way in. Maybe the locksmith reassembled it wrong. Possibly the problem is with the upstream vacuum since the car's gas-fill actuator doesn't work. It seems to me that the lock should open with the key regardless of upstream vacuum but I don't have a schematic of the '83 300CD system. The 2 door locks open & close properly with the key....
Any idea if this is a problem with how I'm installing the lock?
Or is this a vacuum problem?
Is the problem really not going away until the gas latch issue is resolved?
Many thanks,
Chris Collins
