Geoff, I smell trouble...

From your picture it really looks like the upper an lower cups were swapped. In a normal installation, once you have removed the spacers and pieces 1 through 4 from the drawing, you need to lift up the compression ring (#5). That cut ring is a cone, so insert a spanner wrench in the opening and lift the cone. If you don't have a spanner wrench then you can use a small allen key. Insert it through the hole and apply a force up below the ring to lift it up. That ring is the last part holding everything together. Once you remove it, the other parts should come very easily.
Now, if the lower and upper cups are indeed swapped then I am unsure how the all setup is holding together and that may be a good case for your LBS! The good news is that it would settle your different with both the wife and you being right...
(There is something funny about your case: I always knew you guys were walking up side down but I did not realize that it also implied swapping upper and lower cups of a headset!)
