I have some blocks on a layer that is 'off', but the blocks won't turn off. Any ideas as to why?

Just FYI, I always create my blocks on layer 0. When you do that, they block will take on the properties of whatever layer you put it on.
I agree that block should be defined at layer 0. But are we forgetting here that xref's are also treated as blocks? In this case, we can't avoid there are other layers inside our xref. Just play with LAYFRZ's Nesting settings/options. (Block-level, Entity level and No nesting.) Somehow, you'll get what you need.
I think what arshiel88 is saying is that xrefs act like blocks b/c they can be controlled by whatever layer to insert them on if it is not the "0" layer.
Aka if you have "A-Anno-Note" layer set as current when you xref in a dwg (either overlay or attach) that xref will then "disappear" when A-Anno-Note layer is frozen.
