[PD] l2ork: SSSAD loads but doesn't save presets

Just an update with a happy ending:
it turned out that rc-patches was still in the search path and it
indirectly involved an incompatible version of sssad. Removing it from the
path fixed the problem.
Thanks for the tips, they definitely helped me understand what to look for.
