I read your guy's posts asking desperatly for help , and i was just looking at how to do it myself , when i found the proper settings after quite some times , more than i expected .
So here are the "ultimate settings" for this great free plugin for Max , that works fine here with me with a biped and also an animation .
I have to comment that the scene is actually a character with bones (biped) , he nodes , so there are keyframes (seemed to be important for certain settings afterward) , and that the x file would actually look like what you see only if you export it fully and not export a selection , you have to export your animation and it's bones alltogether with bones masked (hidden) .
