If your using 3dsmax your probably going to have to save your bones and anims, remove your skin/physique modifier. select your mesh and use reset Xform and collapse. Both found in the Utilities tab. Then redo skin/physique.
Normaly people follow a strict workflow when using 3dsmax for realtime animation because its a common problem with the way 3dsmax works with scale when exporting realtime meshes. You just have to remember to reset the transforms. You don't always have to, the mirror modifier etc often work fine. But its better to be safe than have to redo a bunch of work.

This is a very common problem.
When creating your skeleton you should not use the standard 3DS Max "mirror" tool. You should instead use the mirror tool in the "Bone Tools" dialog, which you can find in the Animation menu.

[solved] negative scale
this is obviously a long dead thread but i have a solution in case someone hits this problem. (thanks to christophe canon of frogames.net)
unreal engine 2 has an exporter for their actorX format that automatically corrects this issue. so if you have a mesh with this problem use the actorX exporter from:
max/maya 2011 or prior: http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/ActorXMaxTutorial.html
OR
max/maya 2012+: (this is an unofficial build but works great on max 2015)
http://www.gildor.org/down/38/actorx/ActorX_All.zip
1. export the files from max/maya to the actorX format. (psk and psa files)
2. load these files into ultimate unwrap 3d (i hear milkshape works as well)
3. save them out as .mesh / .skeleton files
4. load the mesh in ogre meshy -- it works!
