Bump maps for sss in maya must be connected to the misss_fast_*_maya using the bump2d or bump3d nodes.

Also, the bump2d node requires a Shading Engine, so check the "Export with Shading Engine" box in the mental ray section of the Shading Group.

Thought I'd point out that in Maya 6.5, SSS is included.
Do not load the SSS Bonus Tools for Maya6 on top of a 6.5 installation.
