We run fully a referenced animation pipeline and all connections / animations go via the characterSet it does need a little babysitting though. It also depends what version of Maya you tried with chSets. With each release more of the killer bugs get squashed, 2011 has a few specifics in the wa

There's a few node types that aren't properly recognized by pymel, because it gets it's list of node types from the documentation. Basically, this just means that you won't get any special functions on PyNodes of that type - just the basic DagNode functionality. I'm working on a way of generating
