Oh no! She only has diarrhea when you leave -- otherwise firm poops?
If it is nerves and not illness, then try leaving for a few minutes and return. Repeat many times, gradually increasing your time away. Don't make a big deal when you leave or return -- be as matter of fact as possible. Leave the television or radio on, give her toys or something safe to keep her occupied.
Leave a shirt that you have worn or something with your scent in your baby's crate. I also read another suggestion from a breeder/exhibitor on another thread to drape a little blanket over the crate. We drape a towel over the top for my younger boy who sleeps in his wire crate.
