Yes, if I remember correctly the max5 multires was changed quite a lot so it doesn't work properly with the max4 exporter (and the max 6 exporter won't work with max 5?). You need to get the multires.dlm from max4 and put it in your stdplugs folder if you absolutely have to use max5.

You can probably recompile the plugin with the max5 sdk and get it to work, but it honestly sounds like more work than it's worth. If you absolutely must do it search around the forums a bit.
