Material previews don't render.

I'm losing my mind, here. I can't get Maya to just render a material preview with the official release plug-in and Maxwell. I have no idea what's wrong but I hate two days to do an archviz job and this isn't helping. I think you guys need a 12-core Westmere Mac Pro to test because there's some really weird stuff happening. Preview rendering uses 2 of 24 threads and then never ends. I force quit it and it updates the thumbnail:
