Kurt, The crash on missing layers has been reported ( we can check the bug tracker to make sure). In the meantime before it gets fixed you can make sure that all the data files you need are in the same path location as your desktop machine or manually edit your .qgs file to correct for their location. Look for lines like <datasource>/scratch/GrassDB/NorCal/ttp/davisppl/1_point</datasource> One thing important to remember is that the data itself, in this case you Grass Dataset needs to be transferred too. The .qgs file only stores references to the datasets and general map information not data. Depending on how interactive your conversation needs to be you can always print your maps to pdf too.
