Save it out as a .ma file and I'll take a look.

He meant save it as an .ma and re-upload it at the moment only people with Maya 2012 can help you unless you upload a .ma.

Much better. It's because there are no UVs on the left object. Right click, and choose faces. Select all of them. Go to the surfaces menu set, and under Subdiv Surfaces, go to texture, and the planar mapping option box. Set the mapping direction to the Z axis, and set the image rotation to 90.

Hope this helps.
