Sorry for the delay... I tried to figure out what was wrong with your meshes but couldn't , I guess something isn't right in the export. I reexported both of the models and that fixed the error. What version of Maya are you using ? It exports in 1.4.0 collada, while blender exports in 1.4.1 which is the latest. If you can I'd suggest your go for the latest maya version. The skeleton file was wrong, You didn't have the right names for what I could see you have joint1 --joint2 while you used joint
