The operating carrier seems to have denied boarding due to not having a ticket - which is a valid reason to deny boarding without compensation
If you were booked on an IB flight number orginally, then IB would have been liable to rebook and if you were booked on an IB number , the cancellation and rebooking failure would give you an entitlement
If you were booked on an AA codeshare , I an not convinced that you have entitlement to EC261 compensation
