Not a bug in primPathNameDelimiter.

Was a bug in TLoad3DSMax

After talking with John and Ian it was clear that the VMs where 
processing as designed and it forced me to do a more thorough job of 
debugging.  The actual problem was a hardcoded comparison in 
TLoad3DSMax searching for \ and : but not /.  Still baffles me that it 
actually worked on Windows and Unix but not on Macintosh.  I modified 
the methods to use the pathNameDelimiter instead of the constant and 
now it works with both VMs on Macs.

A changeset is attached.
