This is incomplete code but I wanted to test it up to this point before
proceeding.  The create product definition is working fine but the
create product load is failing due to "invalid object *N"  I have no
idea where the *N is coming from or how to fix it.  I'm hoping someone
can point me in the right direction, I'm sure its something stupid I'm
doing but can't see it.
I don't see the problem, but I haven't checked your code in detail either. Two things first:
1. What error are you getting? I mean, one potential error from QSZCRTPL is: 

CPF3C29 E     Object name &1 is not valid.
But that's not exactly "invalid object *N". So, how about a msgid? Any other joblog hint?
2. Seems to me that your fastest resolution is simply to run a DUMP before calling QSZCRTPL. Look at the values you're preparing to send into the API. Debug is nice, but it focuses your attention on just the problem at hand -- it kind of blinds you to the problem that's going to happen next because it doesn't encourage you to view overall program memory. First guess is that one of the object names is misaligned or improperly initialized. (Duh!, eh?) E.g., you're passing in a non-blank 'additional library' or 'postoperation exit program' name, perhaps a folder or directory name.
These APIs are far less user-friendly and forgiving than others simply because nobody has used them since they were introduced. (Okay, that's stretching the truth -- but not by much.) With zero info on what all you're passing in, it's blind guesswork.
