Summary0009699: Dwarves unable to start construction.
DescriptionDwarves are unable to start construction of anything that requires the construction job, even when only having the required construction job checked in their labor options.
Steps To ReproduceFlipping a save file back and forth between different systems, (for me it happened about the third fortress created in the same world that I swapped back and forth between two different computers at least 10 times, with play sessions that involved at least the opening of a saved game from in game.).

Error can be fixed by creating a new world and starting a new fortress in that world, trashing the old folder save located in the data/saves folder. This will result in the game becoming playable again, although it will remove any old saves in the deleted world, which is unfortunate but not game breaking.
Additional InformationReports of similar problems happening on the internet have been reported when searching for something along the lines of "Dwarves wont begin construction even though the architexture labor is checked" reports on how the error can be fixed on forums where the bug is reported were tested by me and found to be correct.

Are you sure these units have "Wall/Floor Construction" enabled? If they do, can you provide a save (ideally at http://dffd.bay12games.com/)?
