Trouble with modules.collectionAccess for a custom endpoint

Jeez, that code got butchered. Here it is in a gist instead:

The whole objectID component in Mongo can be a bit finicky, depending on how the data was written. For the line where you define kickstartTemplateId, try any of the following:
var kickstartTemplateId = modules.collectionAccess.objectID(kickstartTemplates[0]._id);
var kickstartTemplateId = kickstartTemplates[0]._id.toString();
var kickstartTemplateId = kickstartTemplates[0]._id;
var kickstartTemplateId = modules.collectionAccess.objectID(kickstartTemplates[0]._id.toString());
Let me know if the results change with any of these options.
var kickstartTemplateId = modules.collectionAccess.objectID(kickstartTemplates[0]._id);
var kickstartTemplateId = kickstartTemplates[0]._id.toString();
var kickstartTemplateId = kickstartTemplates[0]._id;
var kickstartTemplateId = modules.collectionAccess.objectID(kickstartTemplates[0]._id.toString());
Let me know if the results change with any of these options.

I'm trying to create a custom endpoint that runs a series of mongo queries. I seem to have the pattern right, but for some reason I cannot pull (find()) objects out of my collection with a query. Here's what I've got:
function onRequest(request, response, modules){
// fetch all of our kickstart-tpls
modules.collectionAccess.collection('kickstarts-tpl').find({}, function(err, kickstartTemplates) {
// we need to convert the string to an ObjectId representation??? I've tried it without
// this and it still returns nothing.
var kickstartTemplateId = modules.collectionAccess.objectID(kickstartTemplates[0]._id);
modules.logger.info('kickstart_tpl_id: ' + kickstartTemplateId);
// "kickstart_tpl_id: 53220be7f811291203033885"
modules.collectionAccess.collection('topics-tpl').find({ "kickstart_tpl_id": kickstartTemplateId }, function(err, topicTemplates) {
response.body = topicTemplates; // [ ]
response.complete(200);
});
});
}
The screenshot of my "topics-tpl" collection, which clearly matches that "kickstart_tpl_id":

There must be something wrong with my Mongo query, but I'm just not too familiar yet. Appreciate the help!
