I would think that should work. As you are surmising maybe something wrong with the wiring. The 6 wires go straight to the E38 so you should be able to trace them or go by the color code of the wires to make sure they are all on the proper pins.
I got the harness for my 2013 Camaro LS3/6L80 from Speartech. I used the Corvette pedal with it, so it shouldn't matter whether you use the Camaro or Corvette pedal. They are both wired the same. What tune did you flash in your computer when you got it back from Speartech? What are the part #'s for the gas pedal and throttle body you purchased? Sounds like you may have an issue in the harness.

Soooo I figured out what was wrong with my car.... after a couple days of trying to tune it I found out that im a complete moron! When I painted my intake tube I took the MAF out and then put it in backwards
after that it started up and ran right away. tuned on it for about 20 mins and drove it around. The 6l80e is BADA$$ shifts smooth and quickly and cruises awesome!! I LOVE IT. Next thing is to hook up the paddle shifters which I will NOT have a hand in installing!

Took the car to the track last night! Only got one pass in before it started raining (was already sprinkling when I did the burnout) but I ran a 12.30@117 with a 2.06 60ft. This was on street tires and leaving it in drive because my paddle shifters don't work yet. All in all Im very happy with what it ran given the circumstances! Cam only LS ftw!

Running 275/60r15 on a 15x7 stock rallys in the back I think a 235 on a 15x5 rally in front. Tsp 235/293 cammed ls3 with a 6l80e with a yank3600s converter 3.23 gears in a 9 inch. Thats pretty much it, nothing really special just a nice street car.
