Icewind Dale 1 Modding Issue?

Greetings fellow BG/IWD fans. I recently took the advice of our good Wikkid_Suhn on another thread about installing some mods to IWD. IWD is a game I never fully completed (but got pretty far into in the past), but there were always some things I would have liked to have seen differently, thus my going the route of installing some mods. However, I have a strange issue in my game.

Here is the list of mods in the order of which they were installed:
1. Tweak Pack
2. Auril's Bane (skipped Grog's fixpack)
3. IWD Fixpack
4. Improved BAMs
5. High Quality Music (I actually didn't install this one, because it was horribly garbled/sped up on my machine)
6. Unfinished Business
7. Icewind Dale NPCs

Here is the issue I am having, or at least the only known issue so far:

In the orc cave just outside of Easthaven, I stumbled on this item off one of the shamans.

"A massive club, this weapon used to belong to Tribe." Eh?

"before his kinsmen realized that he was dead." NOT IDENTIFIED Smart Cleric/Ranger. What?

I am certain I screwed something up with one of the mods, but - if anyone has any further insight it'd be much appreciated. Will I most likely have to start over in the game do you think? Will exporting my characters first cause any harm? As far as modding the infinity engine goes, I am more or less a n00b, so forgive my many questions.

    Yeah, Tweaks should go last and AB first. Here's my IWD mod install order recommendation.

    Good to know! I don't suppose there is any way to properly salvage my current save? I assume I can just export my characters, uninstall, reinstall, re-mod, then import my characters back in?

    Export/import would probably work, yeah.

    Thanks for the assistance then :)

    I did notice after setting everything up in order that now my saved game images (when loading, saving, etc) are actually just blank black screen shots. This is kind of a bummer, as it doesn't show my character icons either on the GUI within the game. It makes me worried I might accidentally save over the top of one of my other saves if I do this...

    Any ideas?

    Odd, they suddenly fixed themselves today after I loaded and saved my game (even though this has been done several times already). Oh well, not going to argue :)
