Import OBJ

Hi I have a problem with importing .obj's across from lightwave when the object has polys with >4 vertices. I just get an 'error reading file' mesage. But the thing is that when I import just the polygons with >4 verts into maya on their own, they are totally fine. What am i dong wrong with the model?
