Simple (?) Problem finding a distance from a B Spline Surface

I get the same problem (of course with different data)! I checked the bspline function with ParametricPlot3D to make sure there were no kinks, intersections or such that would spoof NArgMin (NMinimize). Also tried defining/submitting: func[u?NumericQ, v?NumericQ]:= Norm[...] to NArgMin to no avail.

func[u_?NumericQ, v_?NumericQ] := Norm[srffn[u, v] - test]

Thanks, Frank! Seems like a bug. All I can do is write a manual loop to minimze the distance from a test point to the surface. Back to low level programming! :-(
