Hello,
Make sure the PDF compatibility is checked while saving the AI file. Can you provide us with a file sample?

PDF compatibility is checked while saving the AI file and imports in rhino5 but not in 6Untitled-8.ai.zip (1.6 MB)

I go back and forth from rhino to illustrator all the time on the Mac. I do save down my illustrator files to the lowest setting. I use this script most of the time.
