I think I was trying to animate the root bone with the animation, but it was only there for one frame. I think I ended up constraining the root bone to the pelvis on the one frame that was visible so that with would have root motion then exported it again. It was not a big deal just confusing when I wanted to scrub through the animation and the character would disappear.

you can run this quick python script and make it a shelf button if you want:

import maya.cmds as cmds
cmds.select("root", hi = True)
joints = cmds.ls(sl = True, type = "joint")
for joint in joints:
    cmds.setAttr(joint + ".v", lock = False)
    cmds.setAttr(joint + ".v", 1)
