I think the first error is caused by using a mental ray material rather than a 'Standard' one.

Bear in mind that script was written to support max 7 which is umm 6 versions or so before 2011 (I still use 2009).

Yeah, just use a standard material. The debug log spit out in the same place you save the mesh to will let you know if you messed up the syntax, but if you follow the tutorial closely it should all sync up.

Actually none of his problems are covered in there so congratulations I guess.
