All my other 330 flights have had row 1 seats available and I was allowed to switch upon checkin. I only ask this because the footwells in the bulkhead rows of super diamond seats are *significantly* larger, and more comfortable than than non-bulkheads, especially in QRs config.
Assuming you're connecting on QR830 tonight, the seats are still blocked, so I would go to the transfer desk or ask in the lounge when you arrive to ask to be put in those seats.

Not sure why the agent refused but I don't see any reason why they should've.
