I believe you can render an rpf sequence out of max with the camera data included, then under Animation, I think there's something like rpf camera import.

Here's a chapter from Chris and Trish's book on it, too. (this is just an excerpt, and looks like this small bit only mentions Maya, but I'll bet in the actual book, there's detailed instructions for max, too.)

Maybe you need to bake the motion first. parented stuff will work in the local cooradinates of the parent, maybe the plugin doesn't cope with that yet.
