Thanks for the reply. I have soil saturation turned off, the dike layer is correctly rendering in the "Set map attributes", and I'm defining the entire area protected by dikes.
I've sent you an email with some screen shots showing my execution options, the dike layer rendering, and the output showing land cover change even in the diked areas.
A potential work around to this problem is changing the diked areas to "Developed Dry Land" and running the simulation with the "Protect Developed Dry Land" option. This takes some additional pre-processing and post-processing of the rasters but it does work.
