I'm probably completely wrong, but but am I right in thinking the problem is due Jrs::SmartPtr<T> and not the fact that VS.NET or the serialization library is not find the right serialize method. If so I'm surprised no one else has pointed this out before!

The big deal is that there is a non-intrusive serialize function (i.e. an external function) rather than a method on SmartPtr. The problem is that this function is not being detected, so the template library falls through to trying to use a serialize method, which does not exist. Because I'm building on another library, there is no possibility of going over to any other kind of smart pointer.
