hi!
if U are on maya 8, use the architectural shader from max (it contains the phisical sky shader too), Yashu provided a really nice and easy setup for it, see next topic

Anyway, you have to connect the message of the shader to miEnvironmentShader of the camera shape, or ctrl+mmdrag to your camera shape Maya will do the connection for you.

so i need to connect the
sky(message)--> miEnvironmentShader--->maya cam shape

No, it's that easy, mmdrag'n'drop while holding ctrl, tchatcha ;)

Looks like it can also be used as an IBL texture. You will need to switch the IBL type to texture and use the Connection Editor to set:

mad_physicalSky.outValue -> mentalrayIblShape.color
