I have this sometimes when ive got 2 cut lines on the file!
From what youve said im assuming you've used the Mask tool to get an outline, then converted that to a Path, then exported the path as an AI file for Illustrator, then opened your image and also the cut path, then placed the path over where you want the cut line to be yes?
If so the original file might have a cut path already there (possibly done by accident). Personally i wouldve saved the file as a TIFF not PDF. Ive also found that Illustrator doesnt like PSD files with cut lines.
When you open the job in Versaworks, do you see the dotted red moving lines where the cut should be? If not then Id definately convert your work to TIFF in photoshop then do it that way.
Hope that helps, and if i missed the pint totally - sorry for wasting your time reading all that lol.
Let us know yeh!?
cheers
