Please explain further.

Nope, you definately bind the mesh to the skeleton and then paint the weights. The default smooth skin creates some weights, but, in my experience, they are rubbish. You need to paint the weights to get anything resembling a decent deformation. I just wish Maya had a skinning system that was somewhere near as good as the one in Messiah.

Sorry, MainlineX, but I'm afraind I don't have a clue about your problem.
