There's no problem with the exporter, as I've argued. There might be a problem with the OgreXMLConverter, but since OgreMax converts the exact same data in both binary and XML forms, there's no need to go through that tool. I am, nevertheless, testing it. If the result works with your loader, it means that your loader misses by the same amount as the OgreXMLConverter. But I've talked to Derek (the OgreMax developer), and he assured me that the binary and XML files are identical (and it looks a lot like that to me, by simply comparing the number of frames with the data in Max's Mixer).
