Perhaps a bit superfluous, but did you use select subsets? Poser by default doesn't save the hand settings. What I always do is: select subset, click the universe to uncheck everything and click victoria or any other modell you are using and every part within the model is selected including the hands.

I always save without morphs and without world translation.

-Don't use the morph++ dials of Victoria in the hands like spread and grasp, they aren't saved with the pose.

-Uncheck IK.

Good luck.
