Are you asking us, why your client can't open files you created? We don't
know, sorry. And no, your guess don't have any ground.

> Is this possible?

No. Not even theoretically.

> Do we perhaps have different versions that would not be compatible?

No.

You asking us? We don't know.

> PLease help?

If your client is supposed to be able to modify diagrams you send him/her, you
both need to have the same set of shapes used in the creation of that diagram.
Correctly installed in Dia under same names.
If your client is not supposed to modify the diagram (which is likely the
case), you better off using export versions of your work, such as PDF or EPS.
