Using custom tones with my UX2 - having issues...

I have a UX2 with podfarm 2.53 all drivers are fully upto date via the monkey, windows 7 service pack 1 all upto date etc, verified in licence manager all devices and packs active and working i have the metal shop and fx model packs, unit works fine for me except if I go to custom tones on the line6 site, I don't see the ux2 supported in equipment list, so i picked podfarm instead, if I just pick a tone (download it) I can use podfarm 2.5 top area to open that tone & I get how to save the tone (i think), I created a custom tones folder and have it saving that new tone to that folder, which when I refresh it does sweep thru that folder too, I choose save as, name it, target podfarm 2, I put it in that custom tones folder and I verify i have all the model packs to use that tone - but later when I go back some of the tones are gone and a few show but won't load I get errors saying I need to refresh the tones.
Where should I be saving these custom tones to so that line 6 sees them each time? I tried copy pasting the custom tones content into the main guitar/fxheavy folder but same issues.
In the options area of custom tones I picked podfarm as my equipment since I didn't see UX2, is that even right? A lot of the time the tones do load and work but after I close and come back is where I am having a problem they are gone or won't load right the 2nd time I go to use them.
Some don't even load but ones i do get to load and play with and even save aren't always there when I restart the pod I have also done the refresh thing it says but it doesn't find these tones again.
Probably something very simple I am not doing right but I figured if I am IN the tone and its working and I save the tone it should be there later, but it'sprobably user error (my end).

Are you saying you load the tone in PF, and save if from within PF?
I don't get in here much sat down today to play a bit and sure enough tones I had downloaded fromt customtones for podfarm that worked last time i was using this now say tone not found. ughhhhhhh
Is it maybe something where the user created it, I download it use it but the user deleted it so podfarm can't find it? I use a UX2 device into my pc btw, and when I go to customtones i grab things for podfarm since I don't see a "family" that shows my ux2 in terms of devices.
Are you saving the tone to your PC after using it?
No i downloaded it to my desktop clicked it and podfarm had the tone in it instantlly, i wrote customer support who said save them in a folder somewhere then i won't lose them like this, bummer is i really liked the tone but never paid attention to the setup of it, didnt save it, and altho i see the name in podfarm here i went to customtones and can't find it under that name so the user must have removed it i guess.
