It's the no-lok tail confoozion maker, seen?
Kim be down wit da flava - but he shy 'bout stylin' in da place.
he got da sweet chronic, but undercover, aight

OK, Sandy, here's something that just worked for me.

For a quick and dirty fix:
Set your In point to -10 and then frame advance to frame 1 to get the tail in a
nice state for frame 1, then change the in point back to 1. This could change
depending on how wild your tail is.

Select the visible bones and look in the explorer to get a complete chain
hierachy including root (the top level root isn't the root of the visible chain
, it's the hidden 1 below) and effector. You'll have to check for the effector
icon because it's name has been changed.

Plot these and cut completely from the tail hierachy. Delete all the other
stuff and you should have just the tail chain with plotted key frames. Worked
just now for me.

p.s. I think we should always have XSI list hip hop fridays :-)
