Hey all, I can't believe that no one responded with an answer, and I even searched google. I did however find the simple solution to the problem of Maya not "seeing" external drives. I thought maybe it was a mapping issue, but I had to change the setting in Maya under preferences>settings>file/projects: change the file dialog style to OS from the default Maya. Voila! Now maya will use your native OS, e.g.. OSX, Windows, etc. Now I can access my time capsule. Thank you to all that read. I hope this helps anyone that may or may not have had the same issues. Sean
