yeah, i vaguely remember looking into this.  it turned out that maya has 3 
separate presets systems, the one available through the AE, the render globals 
one, and one other that i can't remember offhand.  they all work differently!  
it should really be fixed, but we just gave up and created a symbolic link from 
everyone's user preset dir to our server.

this brings up a subject that has been going through my head lately. it would 
be awesome to setup a git or mercurial repo of all of maya's scripts and 
maintain a set of bug and feature patches on top of them.  it would be a bit of 
work to maintain, but it would be a very easy way to say "hey, autodesk. it 
should work like this."
