I was hoping that someone here can identify why one of the lineup pins is
missing on my mold and how to solve the problem?

I suspect the import()ed STL has issues, check it with Netfabb Basic.

Sometimes the parts are not there where on expexts them to be.
To test this you can use the % and/or the # operator:

difference(){
%cube(10);
translate([0,0,5])#sphere(3);
}

Thanks very much for the quick responses, it's appreciated. Can't believe I
couldn't figure this out but the model indeed was the culprit. I ran it
through netfabb but I then forgot to run it back through Meshlab and
MeshMixer which did the trick. <duh>
