Can't publish map to workshop

I'm having this incredibly irritating problem with my map ns2_drydosity.
For whatever reason, publishing the map to the steam workshop doesn't work. It has worked previously, but it doesn't work any more.

I've set it up a folder structure for it:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->ns_drydosity\maps\ns_drydosity.level
ns_drydosity\maps\overviews\ns_drydosity.hmp
ns_drydosity\maps\overviews\ns_drydosity.tga<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

And I have the mod pointing at the ns_drydosity folder.

But for whatever reason, when I go to load the map via the mod (even when I Save Locally and Test Mod via the Publisher window) the game crashes when loading gets to:

<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Loading 'maps/ns2_drydosity.level'
Building pathing mesh for level maps/ns2_drydosity.level<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

Any ideas?

Incidentally, if I have it with the other maps in the main NS2 folders and load it directly via the console, the level works perfectly fine. It only fails when I try to load it as a mod.

PS: I've unpublished ns2_drydosity from the steam workshop until I can get this figured out

    I don't think the Test Mod button actually works? Did you test it by subscribing to your own "mod" instead?

    Yup, I've tried that too; it still doesn't work :(

    I've also deleted & made the mod a few times. But that hasn't fixed anything.

    Are you publishing it as private? I know when we were trying to get Jambi up, it would not let us do it private, only public.

    Yeah I also seem to be having problems with steam workshop on NS2, not limited to dryosity. Its temperamental at best, earlier I could not start a server on custom maps even though I had subscribed to them. I had to manually download and place the files then launch them through the console. I've just deleted everything related to NS2 and am re-installing to see if this resolves my issues.
