Maya export problem

Hello community,
I'm currently learning the torque engine and I'm trying to get the maya exporter to work with some models I've made but it gives me this error "// Error: Invalid file type specified: exportDTS //". I don't know what this means. I'm working with maya6, and I even downloaded the ple of maya 7 and neither of them work. I've also tried diffrent models, as well as just trying to export a plain box!!!! Is there anything else I have to do besides put the mel script in mydocuments/maya/scripts ?
thanks,
James

Danny Ngan's site is a great help in learning how to use Maya for Torque, though. Check it out.
