[Maya] - nParticles to Alembic. Export/Import?

Hey all. I’m in a crunch here trying to export nParticles to an alembic cache and then importing them back into a fresh Maya scene (tried general ncache first but that was very slow). I can export to alembic, but Maya does not want to import the Alembic file. Any ideas about how to do this correctly so that Maya handles everything?

Thanks,
