I've been out of town, so I haven't had the chance to look back at 
this issue until today.  This is the code for the non-intrusive 
serializer:

template<class Archive>
void serialize(Archive & ar, SWHandle & handle, const unsigned int version)
{
     std::string strHelper( handle.toCharString() );
     ar & make_nvp("swhandle_guid", strHelper);
     handle = strHelper.c_str();
}

I don't have access to the internal data of SWHandle, so I am trying 
to work around that in the functions so that it work for both 
serialization and deserialization (since I'm not aware of an easy way 
to split them like you can the class version).  The namespaces 
shouldn't be an issue (in this case, everything is operating in the 
global namespace).  I'm not seeing any real difference between my 
code and the
