One big problem ...
Freehand(by default) "Color Manages" spot colors

Best to tell the creator to go into freehand
Preferences > Color
and set Color Management to "None".
I have found Freehands color handling
to be basically worthless -
eventhough I use it
and have it matched to my system.
I think the problem is how tyour client
is bringing the file into
and saving out of Photoshop.
