our project has prob. "lost" the path to the lib where you are saving the part.
Eeschema maintains a local cache of lib parts in the project directory, (the .cache file) If it cannot find the part in the libs it uses whatever is in the cache. This is done to allow a project to be moved from one machine to another without the need to transfer the entire library as well. (In PCBnew the modules are saved into the board file anyway so a separate cache is not needed) Make sure that you have ADDed the library that contains your part to your project. You can also try editing your component again, and select the project cache as the working library then save into that as well.
