OMF/AAF problems with Pro Tools

Question

Have you ever had any problems with exporting OMF/AAF and further edition in Pro Tools?
I have been exporting OMF/AAF for ages and passing them to sound editor who works in Pro Tools and never had any problems. This time around when he opens either OMF or AAF it is not linking any media.
No idea what is the problem here.

Have been researching the "missing files" issue after export of OMF, import to Pro Tools with Avid. They are citing an issue with Premiere, though are not specific and have not referred to any documentation on the issue. There is a workaround suggested which is to pass the sound edit in premiere to Adobe Audition first, then export the OMF from there. This version of the exported OMF appears to work, though the actual .omf file is buried in the folder with all other audio files from the session, and must be identified within the folder for import to Pro Tools. The automatic linking has then worked in a couple of tests with "referenced" (instead of encapsulated) files that I've done.

Also, if the project audio files are under 2GB. encapsulated OMF exports from Premiere appear to link upon import to pro tools.

Will post back if Avid has any other info available from an open case that I have filed.
