Blocks in xrefs

(OP)
My problem is that im designing a storm water system for a commercial development, and i created a new drawing and xref'ed the the entire site into the new drawing.  Now everything is appearing in model space.  But when i tile over to paperspace in my viewport everything is showing up again except for the actual drain inlets.  I went back to the original drawing where the xref came from, and it turns out that the drain inlet was a block.  why isn't the drain inlet block showing up in the new drawing?  
Do i have to explode the drain inlet blocks and save?

help please!

RE: Blocks in xrefs

They should show up fine.  The only thing I can think of is that the layer they are on is somehow getting turned off or frozen.  Check this and see.  If not, I can't really think of another reason right now.
