Hi Robert, I'd be surprised if the warning you quote is causing the issue, since I believe it's only a warning and not an error. It's only saying that it will take your word for it that the coordinate system is what you say, and not what the dataset tells it (which in any case is the exact same so shouldn't be an issue).
Does the translation stop completely? I'd be more concerned about removing the geometry. Is this pure SDE or GeoDatabase-SDE? GeodDatabase-SDE permits only single geometry types, so if FME sets it up as a line geometry, and you remove the geometry to create a null-geom feature, then it will cause issues. Set the Allowed Geometries in the destination feature type. Perhaps we've also cracked down on this sort of thing, which is why it used to work but not now. Anyway, I'm not really 100% sure what is going on. If you can post the entire log file (or send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) someone might be able to get a better idea of the problem.
