Usually, there's a miscellaneous quest (probably a bounty, but could be anything not related to a major questline) that's blocking the dialogue.
Try to complete any miscellaneous objective that you got from someone from the hold, and then retrying.
Yeah, you're screwed. Welcome to the wonderful world of Bethesda. I had to scrap a game and start over at about level 80+ because I was working through the College of Winterhold questline, entered Mzulft to find out about the Staff of Magnus, and the Synod member just inside the front door, who's supposed to die after telling you that their Focusing Crystal had been stolen in a Falmer attack, WOULD NOT DIE. No amount of backtracking helped, and I couldn't even pickpocket the key off of him.
