Illustrator CS4: SVG Export error "Transforms are Expanded"?

I get the following error when trying to save my image to SVG (via "Save Copy As"):

Transforms are expanded.

When I try to load the SVG in another program, all I get is a blank canvas. I ultimately want the path data to feed into RaphaelJS, but the path data that I got by clicking on the Show Code button during the SVG export also yields a blank canvas with RaphaelJS (and I've verified that RaphaelJS is loaded, and it is rendering properly).

I'm convinced that this export error in Illustrator is the problem, but I can't figure out how to make it go away and export my SVG graphic properly.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
