how to save signals in hierarchy using ocean save()?

I am using the ams simulator (part of the circuit is in extracted view and the rest in digital domain). I tried using the following and it all gave this error: *Error* hdbResolveConstants: argument #2 should a string (type template = "ht") - nil

Each of the following net names has been tried individually and separately:

            (save 'v "TestBench/I1/I0/N108")  ; does not work
            (save 'v "/TestBench/I1/I0/N108") ; does not work
            (save 'v "/I1/I0/N108")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "I1/I0/N108")            ; does not work
            (save ?categ 'analog 'v "/I1/I0/N108")           ; does not work
            (save ?categ 'analog 'v "I1/I0/N108")           ; does not work
            (save ?categ 'analog 'v "TestBench/I1/I0/N108")           ; does not work
            (save ?categ 'analog 'v "/TestBench/I1/I0/N108")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "TestBench:I1:I0:N108")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "I1:I0:N108")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "I1:I0")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "TestBench.I1.I0.N108")           ; does not work
            (save ?categ 'analog 'v "TestBench.I1.I0.N108")           ; does not work
            (save 'v "/I1/I0/+0/D") ; does not work.

/I1/I0 is the instance with the extracted view and N108 is the net name inside that extracted view.

I tried using the ADE window and use Output -> to be saved. Both the "select from HED" and "select on schematic" are tried. Every time I click on a net, I see this error in the CIW: *Error* parseString: argument #1 should be either a string or a symbol (type template "SS") - nil

 The cadence version that I am using is IC6.1.4

 Thanks!
