Hi Scott - which specific programs are you having problems importing into?
I tested your posted file with several programs over here, and it loaded fine into all of: Rhino, MoI, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Cinema4D R10, Xara Xtreme 5, and ViaCAD v8. So as far as I can tell your file is fine.
If you can tell me which particular programs you are trying to open it with I may be able to give you some more information.
For example if you are trying to load it into Inkscape that won't work in the default Inkscape because it only supports AI v9 and higher file formats, while MoI writes an AI v8 type file. The structure of the AI file format changed a lot from v8 to v9 and starting with v9 it is the same as PDF with some additional undocumented extensions for AI-specific information. So for a program like Inkscape that only understands the newer PDF type AI files (AI v9 and higher only), you should instead use PDF format rather than AI format out from MoI.
Possibly whatever other program you are also trying to load it into is similar and only supports the AI v9 or higher type files. If that's the case then that program should most likely support PDF as well and so use PDF format instead of AI.
A lot of other programs especially 3D modeling programs only support the older AI v8 type file structure that MoI uses for the AI files it generates. It's also the last type of AI files that were fully documented by Adobe. Programs that load the AI v9 type files just using a PDF parsing mechanism will be able to get at the vectors but won't have some other AI-specific information like layer definitions.
