When you simply save a file, the XML-like file (.sla) is saved but this does not include images, only pathnames to the image (PS). Since this is a relative path, even moving on the same computer causes the load to fail, let alone on a network. What you want to do is to File > Collect for Output, which makes a directory, compressed if you wish, containing all of the elements along with the .sla file.
