Thanks for the insight... I first tried using hashcat in the gui format, where these hashes did a complete failboat even when i selected the MD5(unix). It would seem that I made the mistake of doing a copy/paste from the nice helpful section from the gui hashcat and tried it in command line. Failed as well...
When you put the hash into an actual file, it works fine!
The length problem I was getting wasn't the salt was too short... the command line was reading the $1$....$ wrong and was chopping the entire hash apart, so hashcat never saw it. Turns out windows command shell and Bash both hate dollar signs.
