Well that captain died tonight and I decided to start a new one, just in time for Drumbeat. So Dec of 41, a type IX with the number 130.
When I went to create the new career, while the name I chose was created in the SH3 careers directory, none of the other data that SH3Cmdr creates was there. Instead of Dec of 41 I ended up in April, and instead of a IXC I had a IXB with a different number. This seems to be an issue with the steam version since I have searched this thread and a couple hits involved players who use the steam version having the same issue as me.
What I find to be peculiar is that the first time through everything seemed to work just fine, all my details were created, but now its suddenly stopped with me having done nothing to the game files since then.
I'm not sure if there's anyone who has a solution for me. I may just have to go find my long lost hard copy of SH3.

I don't use steam myself, but if you are running Vista or Win7 and installing the steam version to the default location, then unless you escalate permissions for both SH3Cmdr and the game (and JSGME if you use it), you'll have the problem you describe.
Easiest solution is just to install SH3 outside of the Program Files folder. Instructions are in various related threads.
If, however, you are using XP, then I have no idea.
