I got this to work after some trial and error. I had success after cleaning
up my Maya scene and exporting ALL via Alembic vs. just selected items. I
was also exporting only frames 1-1 which was maybe also causing weirdness.
I set the render globals to 1-10 and let it drive the export. It's working
now. Thanks for the help.
