You probably have already done it, so just in case, have you compared SAS config file and autoexc.sas on both machines? Different system settings , options and predefined macros could lead to different behavior.

I think they're both 32-bit, but I'll check that. I suspect that this is not the problem, because SAS does recognize datasets in some of the libraries.

Are all of the computers running the same operating system. There might be a 32-bit vs. 64-bit problem.
