Other things to watch for (besides chicken by-products):
-Make sure you only have curve snap active and not point/grid snap.
-I've found sometimes it works better if your transform tool is set to
worldspace rather than object or local.
-Make sure you've not shift-clicked a translate axis to limit movement to a
plane.
-Try in a 2 stage process; left-click to select your object and 'twizzle' it
a bit in that mode; then middle click-drag on the curve you're snapping to,
dragging back and forth in the direction of the curve
-Snap from a different viewport, or tumble the persp camera around a little,
some views work better than others
-If you're point/object is miles away from the curve, eyeballing it to sit
closer can help maya along sometimes
-It could just be you. A former co-worker of mine could curve-snap all day,
whistling a happy tune, while I would struggle, covering my screen with
spittle and expletives. Maybe you should just accept that curve snap doesn't
like you, and move on. :)
