Too little info. What export tool are you using for what modeller and what are the *exact* error messages.

The limit is 4 bones per vertex. If you assign more, OGRE will eliminate the extras and re-balance the remaining bones. You should not need more than 4 bone assignments per vertex.

Not sure what you might need the bones for (programming is fun like that

), however I currently use attachObjectToBone().

Works like a charm in my animations and my "holdable" items need no bones. Hope this helps (you need to work out an offset and rotation for it to be positioned correctly, but that's usually not a big deal and you only need to do it initially.)
