Here is the Google Response (containing my issue):
After activating Analytics within my AdWords account, my ads are linking to an Error page.
When Analytics is activated within AdWords, "Destination URL auto-tagging" is turned on automatically. This feature allows Analytics to track information about clicks on your AdWords ads by tagging your AdWords keyword destination URLs with a "gclid=" parameter. This parameter is displayed in your landing page URL. For example,
http://www.example.com/?gclid=12345abcd
A small number of websites do not allow URL parameters and serve an error 404 page. If your site does not allow parameters, you can prevent this error from occurring you can either turn "Auto-tagging" off in your account (see steps below) or ask your webmaster to allow URL parameters. Also, if you prefer not to have the "gclid=" parameter appear in your URLs, you can turn auto-tagging off.

We had to turn auto-tagging off so that we can get the benefit of our advertising. If you want to arrange a test, I can work to accommodate you. However, it would be better if you could solve without the negative impact to my client.
I spoke to my support team at Google about the issue as well. They seem confident that you should be able to solve the URL parameter issue.
