Maya Graph is a bit different (but not that much) than XSi one, we need to select the handles to move them opposed to Xsi where we just drag them, maybe you have the Handles locked (always same lenght), which is advisable, unless you know what you are doing and really want to mess with them. Why is it advisable, because when animating and having lots of keys when you change things and make a new Key between two other keys or shift keys around, the handle stays the same and the curve info is what you defined early, so its you in control of the curve, with free handles everything goes whacky if you insert new keys or shift frames.
Usually the only times I unlock the Handles is if Im animating Bouncing Motions and I break the handles so i can make the contacts sharper. If you can or want, take a look at the How To Cheat in Maya book, the Graph section will tell you a lot of Maya Graph and you don't need extra Graph scripts that are a clutter mess IMO.
