The server is performing it's DNS filtering. Queries through it are working. The web UI just isn't showing them.
When visiting the http://ip.of.pihole.server/admin/ webpage the Queries boxes all show a revolving circle that never updates.
Likewise, when visiting the Query log page nothing shows up.

Busy circle icon never stops.

Is this just limited to a single browser on a single client?
Clear the cache on that browser, restart the browser and reload the admin web page.
Should have mentioned, same problem on three different browsers on two different machines. Seems to be server specific. Rebooting the pi-hole server didn't change the problem.
What is the exact address you are trying to load in the browser?
http://192.168.xx.11/admin/index.php
or
http://192.168.xx.11/admin/queries.php
The first one just shows the spinning circle arrows icons in all the data boxes (queries, clients, types, etc). The second shows no query list.
As I mentioned, it's performing pi-hole DNS filtering, just not showing it on the web admin pages.
What is the output of echo ">stats" | nc localhost 4711
Do you see any stats at all on the web interface? Does it show as enabled or disabled?
root@pi-hole:/var/log# echo ">stats" | nc localhost 4711

The web interface works for what seems like everything BUT the stats and logging pages. Here's a screenshot of the dashboard page. No matter how long I leave that page up it never stops spinning the circle. I've tried loading the page on this computer using three different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, even IE) and they're all getting the same thing... just the spinner.
This is abnormal, but perhaps not related to the problem you are seeing. With your subscribed blocklists, you should have approximately 126K domains being blocked.
Run this command and select repair,
pihole -r
then re-run echo ">stats" | nc localhost 4711
root@pi-hole:/var/log# pihole -r

---EOM---That shows that your gravity has been rebuilt successfully, so that problem is fixed.
Are you seeing any difference in the dashboard now?
Can someone try loading this URL?
http:///admin/scripts/pi-hole/js/index.js
I get a compression error.
In firefox it says:
Content Encoding Error
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.
In Chrome it says:
This site can’t be reached
The webpage at **http://192.168.xx.xx/admin/scripts/pi-hole/js/index.js** might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED
I noticed that URL when doing some debugging in Chrome.
I'm wondering if there's a lighttpd issue with my install?
If I use wget on the pi-hole (from within an ssh session) it pulls the contents of the index.js file.
If I use wget on a PC client on the network I get an html page that asks if I meant to go to the admin panel.
It would appear 'something' on the pi-hole side of things is making a decision about what to send and doesn't appear to be getting it right.
Bit similar:
I went into /etc/lighttpd directory and commented out the two lines dealing with compression:
#compress.cache-dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd/compress/"
#compress.filetype = ( "application/javascript", "text/css", "text/html", "text/plain" )
Then did a 'service lighttpd restart' and voila, things work now.
Ok, so clearly something's screwy with how my lighttpd instance is handling compression, but given the paltry size of all the files... I'm punting and leaving it disabled.
