I have gone through hell trying to get this to work, I have the same problem as you. Unfortunately for me, my DA:O UE disks are scratched beyond repair. I contacted help and was told to install the 1.05 patch through Origin, which not only didn't allow me access to the DLC in-game but completely broke my Origin installed version of the game. After doing this twice ( and having to re-download the game 3-4 times ) I have finally given up on being able to access my DLC ever again. All I want is for them to admit they have **bleep** up and fix it. When I download the game files from EA's Origin servers one would expect them to work properly, and after searching the web only to find THIS thread even referencing something that resembles my problem I have lost all hope of getting to play DA:O with all the DLC that I PAID for before the third installation come out. Which until this problem is fixed, I'm not holding my breath, is something I will not be purchasing.

Yeah, scratched discs kind of make my suggestion useless =/
And the Origin version is just plain broken in combination with our previously-bought-DLC =/

    Thanks for the great post, I'll pop it up as a sticky.

    One thing to note is that if someone has a mix of old and Origin DLCs and things look irrevocably mixed up, they can contact support using the steps below. They can check your DLC and old entitlements and duplicate them to Origin, where they should work more smoothly.

    Note for those with the Origin version, the 1.05 patch can break it. If this has happened, right-click the game in Origin and choose the repair option.

      Please do sticky D4rkPink's fix, it worked for me where the support team couldnt, from what I can tell there are a LOT of people that whatever Origin did at the game has affected, if we can provide ANY help to them, lets do it!

      Basically what happend is, they realsed new version of the game that hanldes the DLC through Origin. But Origin doesn't have all the DLC yet so only those that are on Origin will work. If you want all the others, you'll have to install the game from the disc. 

      EA_David: That won't work, they can't migrate all my DLC to Origin because not all of the DLC are on Origin as of now.

      great except when we contact customer support they have no clue what to do which makes me think EA got too big and corporate and there is no point getting any of your software anymore because you cant, or dont want to, fix the bugs
