SharePoint 2010 - error reading list items "Cannot complete this action. Please try again."

I have a SharePoint 2010 Farm solution that deploys a list, and a web part that reads from that list. It actually does more than that, but I can't get past the "read the list" part.

I'm able to successfully query the list and get back the SPListItemCollection, but when I attempt to loop through the items I get this totally ambiguous error "Cannot complete this action. Please try again." Full stack trace below:

[COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action.

I've looked at the list definition several times and it looks sound, as is the web part code from what I can see.

The list definition:

  </ContentTypeRef>

The code below shows where I'm running into the error - again, nothing special:

SPQuery query = new SPQuery() { Query = this.filterQuery };

//Loop through the returned URL(s) and add them to the list
foreach (SPItem item in list.getItems(query)) { //<-- Error happens here, when getting the enumerator for the SPListItemsCollection
      returnValue.Add(this.getUrlFromItem(item));
}

And finally, the CAML:

<Where>
  <FieldRef Name="Source" /> 
  <Value Type="Text">http://dev01:80/Pages/default.aspx</Value> 
</Where>

Any ideas on what might be happening here would be HUGELY appreciated!
