Lamp object missing after updating GDL script

Hi, folks.

 

Yesterday I made some updates to the 2D symbol for a couple of lamp objects (pendant, wall) in an effort to get them show our company-standard lighting symbols. I saved into the original AC26 library folder 26 51 00 Int. Lighting. Script checked out; objects rendered properly; all was well. Released all in Teamwork. When I reloaded the project this morning I was shown missing objects for these instances I had placed yesterday. I am able to load the original AC26 lamp objects, but the updates I made to the script/2D symbol are not captured; it has reset back to the default object and my versions are showing up in the Missing Library Parts folder in lib manager. Any suggestions on how to get these updated objects to stick or how to save them into the library? I would prefer not to embed them into this project as that doesn't address the companywide need for updated symbols.

 

Thank you, one and all for the help.

Shot in the dark: What if you delete the local Libraries Data for the Teamwork file in the Teamwork > Project > Local Data Manager Dialog?
