Keywords not exporting ...

I have a Project that is behaving oddly. Please know, this is a procedure I routinely perform... but just this ONE project is acting up.

I manage my event shooting on an external drive. I finalize all my sort, edits, adjustments, ratings and keywords while the project is on that drive. Upon completion, I export the project to Library on a different external drive.

Typically, I will Show Package contents on the originating host drive and drag the individual Project to a Library (up and running) on the target drive. I have done this literally hundreds of times without issue. I have even done it with a newer Project that was created/shot after the Project I'm having problems with.

The issue I am having is that my Keywords (assigned to images) are not showing up after the import? They're intact on the original host drive.. but they won't export. I've not seen anything like this before.

I fear I'm missing something obvious (and probably stupid) ... but for the life of me, can't find the hitch. I've even tried exporting to the desktop then importing from within Aperture. To no avail... this keywords aren't sticking.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
