Interesting how an electronic reservation with the correct code and confirmation number staring the agent in the face meant so little and the word "Through" vs. "Back" caused her to deny me a seat.

I'm going to have to chime in and say that I've also been doing this for years and years and I wouldn't know what you were talking about if you said "flow through" jumpseating. Of course, its abundantly clear when you explain what you're talking about, but the term... nope, never heard it. And thats me speaking as an american pilot. Foreign gate agent? Good luck.

A lot of great information so far in this thread. 
It's been a few years since I've regularly used American to commute. When I used to use them they had different policies for different OAL jumpseaters. Some airlines have unlimited jumpseat with American which it sounds like the OP's airline has hence the D6U code the U standing for unlimited. Few airlines however have this agreement with American and are limited to the amount of jumpseats up front on that particular airframe, regardless of the number of open seats in the back that are open. Most cases 1 jumpseat hence only 1 OAL pilot allowed in the back.

I'm checking into Silver now, but just a few days ago was told at their counter in TCB that I had to have an electronic JS booking before they could take me. I've asked on the forum about United (Silver) JS booking online and am told you can not. Just keeps getting better

Sorry that you got confused due to lack of reading comprehension.

The problem is that the flight was international. While many pilot groups are D6U on domestic flights, those few airlines that are approved for D6 on international flights are all D6L, allowing only one jumpseater per available jumpseat, no matter how many cabin seats are available. Flight attendants, who are categorized as D7, are not authorized to travel D7 on international flights at all, so you should have gotten the seat ahead of her, assuming you are on the approved list of carriers for D6 international.
