in MFC I see fans for PCI, PS, Exhaust, Intake and BoostA. However, I don't see BoostB. Other programs can see the BoostB fan. Any ideas?

BoostB exists is not every model of MacPro. Which program displays it, please show us some screenshots.

Some models of MacPro5,1 do have a second boost fan, some not. If you're not sure, try a PRAM reset

As I said, another program sees the fan (see pic link)... so I know the fan exists and is controllable. The System sees it. It's only Macs Fan Control that doesn't see it.
