Fortune vs Fame Quests

[MissMarple]

OK...I have a pirate that has just achieved Notoriety Level 8, so she was sent to Elizabeth to get the quest for a new weapon, ie the dagger. Elizabeth sends her to Will and when she gets there although he says hello and that he will be happy to make the daggers before he gives me the chance to choose the materials quests needed for the dagger I get a popup box that says that I have to complete one of my fortune tasks before I can accept another task.
PROBLEM... I have NO fortune quests pending. Have completed all of the initial steps for Rogues, Rudyard and even Navy Medals. Now I have not acquired any of the paintings or teeth as yet except for the first tooth that Jack keeps.
Anyone else run into this problem??
