Thanks, Henry -- I may try that. In the meantime, I discovered that the scene save was timing out while trying to access a server that the SI project at the remote site is on, which was odd because I had gotten rid of all file references to it and all the paths in the scene are relative in any case.
I then found that getting rid of any ABCexport properties that the scene has eliminates the issue. Weirdly, the properties don't seem to have any file reference attached to them, and in any case, the only exports done have been to a local drive at this site, not to that server. So for now I'll just be deleting the exportABC props, though I would like to determine where it's saving path data.
