If you create a cube
then create a joint
then select the cube, and shift-select the joint
then skin -> bind skin -> smooth bind
finally in the mel editor type
ls -typ mesh;
// Result: pCubeShape1 pCubeShape1Orig //

how can i just get teh mesh without getting the bind shape or whatever that second one is? I believe in the API this would be bypassed using if ( node.isIntermediateObject() )

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

check the attribute "intermediateObject". If it is true, than it is, well, an intermediate object, which basically is like the starting point for a deformation/modelling history. You will probably want to use the object/mesh which has the intermediateObject Attribute set to off.

what Buexe meant to say was:

ls -type mesh -noIntermediate;
