It's unclear - please help us understand your SAS "client/interactive session" configuration --- are you using some desktop connection method to directly access your SAS server machine? Or are you phyically sitting at a server-class computer system that has SAS installed?
If connected, then you will have a "permanent" drive/folder/directory location to create you own "content" -- this would be the location to direction your LIBNAME command.
Also, it would be helpful to describe more specific symptom information (as opposed to "..but for some reason our servers don't like it so..", such as warnings, errors and other information to enhance the feedback you receive from forum contributors.
