Hey Scott sorry to her about the problems you've been having with Collada. What exporter are you using? There are still problems that exist with some bones animations because of the myriad of ways 3d modelers export their data. If you had a sample of the misbehaving files that you could send to us, we can take a look at fixing these problems
