Are you rotating the object? Depending how far you rotate an

object, this might cause it to go in the opposite direction.

Just copy the layer by selecting the entire layer, and copying

through the I-beam, then paste it in your new scene. If it's

just one object, I use the <CONTROL-SHIFT-V> shortcut a

*lot*, which will paste the object in the same location, but

there's no way to duplicate a whole scene, at least, not that

I've found. If anyone has a way, I'd sure like to know. But

basically selecting the layers in the timeline, then doing a copy

through the I-beam does this (with multiple layers also), I'd

just be convenient to duplicate the whole scene like you can with

objects.

Make sure you've set up a smooth transition, meaning that if 

you have an object rotating (for example), then you don't want

the object to come to the same spot on each end, this would

make the object pause rather than seem continuously rotating

without a hiccup. It takes a little tweaking no matter what type

of loop you are setting up.
