Instance/dupes moving after save scene

["Wayne Williams" <w1343(at)comcast.net>]

A guy I know is having a problem when he create duplicates, instances, or clones, and postition them on desired coordinates, after saving the scene, and reloading it back, the clones, instances, etc.. appear not in their desired positions, but in the position of their parent objects. He tried to freeze geometry, transform, I did local or global transforms, but nothing helps. Anyone else had this before or know of a workaround. Thanks!
