try to add a new Uv set to your polymesh....i m not in front of Maya at the moment so i cant give you detailed directions but it should be easy....type in maya help "Uv set" or so..

good luck

The warning tells you that the specific uv set does not contain any uvs (map1 is the default set). The actual export of the object shouldnt be affected by this.

mohebe: Check your output window if it tells any errors.

i figured it out the problem was that the lights that i had in the set
were intensity 0 so i changed it and i also put a
room light thing and it worked!!!

now i can make screwdriver :)
