damn, just joined and i'm finding all of these unanswered questions! give up your quest to get sub-d's to render in mray- it's already documented that they're unsupported in this early stage (remember, the plugin is still in beta really); also forget about rendering anything in post like paint effects, glows, fog, etc. forget about dynamics too. there's some other limitations i can't remember- looks like you'll either have to wait til mray is more integrated into maya, or just do your work in separate passes, ie. make non-subD-dynamic-post renders in mray in a separate render passes, and the other stuff with maya's renderer. there's a nice little intro on render passes by Alex Alvarez here:

hope this helps somewhat

edit: oh, as for the render globals, they're right where you left them, mray doesn't change that - go to render menu set, under Render...Render Globals
