The most common reason for this error is if you accedently use editable poly rather than editable mesh on your skinned meshes.

Btw with our character(im also on Veni-Studios) is it important that u collapse a UVunwrap modifier before exporting the character??

As long as the skin modifier is at the very top of the stack it shouldn't matter what you have below it, no.

A small trick I use sometimes when I really don't feel like turning my model into an editable mesh is to just simply add a "mesh select" modifier just before the skin. Seems to do the trick and I can still move back down the stack to the editable poly. (sure, you can just convert back and forth between mesh and poly, but it's easy to forget to do it before exporting).
