what version of Maya are you using, I think anything before 6 comes up with a message saying it can't be read but it should still read when you render out with mental ray

Make sure that your hdr image is connected to the ambient channel of a material and that the material is applied to a sphere go onto mental ray settings deselcted the create default light go onto the next tab click on the preview global ilummination preset and also goto final gather and turn that on take a render and hopefully you should have a scene illuminated by the hdr image
