First idea would be to copy the exported/reimported Layer Action
Source's FCurves onto a Layer Action Source created in the new scene. A
problem might be that the corresponding Action Clip would have to be
re-instantiated to make XSI connect the new FCurves and I have no idea
how the Layer System likes this idea. On the other hand, if the new
Layer Action Source already includes the parameters in question, copying
the FCurves might work without the need to re-instantiate the Clip. All
this low-level scripted, of course. I'm pretty sure there is no such
functionality available from the user interface.

thing is i tried this with an action source, not fraw2, and the
animation didn't go into the new layer, but rather onto the base layer
despite my "layer1" being the active layer.
this doesn't have to be an interactive solution, it is intended to be
a tool. but i am afraid i am going to have to evaluate the stored
curve at each key and write a function to reproduce those keys using
the saveKey() function so that the current layer is aware of it. then
i am going to need to set tangent, interpolation, and extrapolation
values. now that is yuck!
of course i could be missing something obvious. hence me posting ;)

heres a waay long way around it, if its last resortish
Save out each F-Curve in the layer source to fraw2 files,
Load curves from source back onto source objects in their new layer.
you'll have to set a key on previous animated parameters in order
to load fcurves..
yuck
