Maya 2010 OSX: Maya couldn't convert the mb file to an fbx file

Unity Engine

Maya couldn’t convert the mb file to an fbx file
Try exporting the mb file to an fbx file manually.
FBX plugins can be found here: FBX | Adaptable File Formats for 3D Animation Software | Autodesk

I get this on any .mb file I try to use… even just a cube… and a cube with FreezeTransform/DeleteAllHistory
If I manually export to FBX, it works fine.

downloaded the latest fbx plugin.

Ideas?.. while I can start using a “Source” directory for MB and a “Live” directory for manually exported FBX, one of the advantages of Unity is to not have to manually export.

Help?

used Unity3?

This is Unity3

Interestingly, opened UnityiPhone 1.7… Previously imported maya files work, even if I hit Re-Import… but if I copy and paste the file (so file.mb becomes “file copy.mb”… then it fails… so it looks like installing Unity3 broke UnityiPhone1.7’s Maya2FBX?)

I’d really like help with a resolution… Unity cats?.. anyone still using/testing OSX?
