Try to use the latest version of FBX plugin for both maya and max. Make sure to bake all the animation to the skeleton joints wich influence the skin. And also you need to remove all the rigs from your scene. There shouldn't be any unnecessary nodes. Only the geometry and animated joints (objects) influencing it.

Best wishes.

FBX can to that.
Baked out the animation in maya, export to fbx. We sent through in MotionBuilder and then imported the animation to Max's biped rig. Worked perfectly for us.
