Blending Animations Not showing in ShowTool, please help

Hi all!
We used to have 3DMAX at the office, actually we build our whole project (www.theelixir.com.ar) using it, but now we switch to LW, We are now using version 8, I been doing some stuff with LW and with the great exporter that David has done, and everything goes perfect, with basic things, cars etc.
I have just one problem, I have a character, rigged, with bones IK and stuff, so far so good :D
I have the animations working.. but only the ones that are NOT blended, cyclic or not, they work just fine.
But when I choose to export a blend animation, everything things to go right, no errors given etc. but the animation doesnt shows up in showtool pro, meaning, I open the dts model, then I open for example forward.dsq, its a running cycle, so far so good, but when I open hit.dsq, for example the animation seems to be there but I cannot see the mesh... :S nor the animation, nothing...
I dont know if any of you understand what is happening, I need some help please...
I am a MAC user, running a powerpc g5 1,6 mhz with 1,5 ram is this helps. Using version 8 of LW and the latest exporter available from gnometech, also using showtoolpro.
Thanks in advance,
Ps: forgive my english, I know it sucks :S , I am from Argentina.

For the record, if some one have this problem, the fix is pretty simple, just removing the SCALE for the nodes when animating, meaning do NOT export the scale, just position and rotation, if you export the scale for ANY bone or node, it just simply wont work with the problems described above.
Ciao ragazzi!
