User cannot explode inserted blocks

We have a user working remotely that has run into a problem we can't figure out.  We had set him up with a copy of our library of non-dynamic blocks we've used for decades, but he cannot explode them after insertion:

 

I have been trying to insert other symbols with the same results.  I can bring the symbol in and position it, rotate it, mirror it, and even copy it to another location.  When I go to explode the original or the copy, it states: 

Select objects: 1 found

1 was an external reference.

 

I have searched on line and not really found anything matching, other than instances of a specific block created with the cannot explode flag set, which we never had set (or was aware of, TBH), but this is every block he tries.

 

I'm a little fuzzy in recalling, but we basically set up a SSD with the same files and paths we already have, but re-mapped to the SSD drive letter instead. Perhaps it's a permissions thing, but would read-only block files be transparently converted into an xref?  I can't find any definitive proof of this.  I've asked him to check the Xref dialog after a block insertion to see if it is showing as an xref but haven't heard back yet.
