I am facing the same issue here... While the modeler tries to publish the model, I select the top assemblies and the necessary polysets and use the export command with export selected flag. The resulting file has only the required model and chop off the shaders and curves the modeler creates in the process. I can pass the model to rigger and every thing works fine and dandy.
But, I use the same .ma file to generate the obj files as a background process using mayapy when the texture guy tries to import the asset in mari. Even though the modeler has not added the arnold shaders, just because the arnold plugin is enabled It writes out the requires Mayatomr line and while doing the mayapy background job it crashes saying... The mesh 'badgeShape' has no '.ai_translator' attribute. setAttr: No object matches name: .ai_translator. Error reading file. Strange thing, couldn't understand why it writes out the require line with out it actually being used in the scene. So, to fix that I have to load the arnold plugin in batch mode, with out any real purpose.
