NI MAX 4.1.0.3001 looses trigger mapping settings for my VXI / MXI2 multi mainframe configuration

I have NI VXI 3.3.1 and NI VISA 4.0 installed on the system and I am attempting to use a MXI 2 multi mainframe configuration.
 
NI MAX sees all the hardware correctly but when I set the MXI-2 Signal Mappings for the TTL Triggers then re-run resman these settings are not retained.  This worked flawlessly in VISA 2.6 (my prior version).
 
Specfic config information..
frame 1 -
slot 0 MXI2 LA1
slot 2 1432A LA 66
 
Frame 2
Slot 0 MXI2 LA 129
Slot 2 1432 LA 133
 
NI-VXI version 3.3.1 installed.
 
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hello Rikh-VXI,
Looking into your issue a bit more I was able to find a KnowledgeBase that explains the differences in TTL mapping in NI-VXI versions 2.x and 3.x. Please let me know if this information proves to be useful and have a great day!

Nicholas_K,
 
I understand how to map the trig lines in MAX, and was able to successfully configure these mappings.  The issue is that once configured, I re-run resman and the mappings are then lost, returned to "NONE".  I'm not sure but it appears to be a bug.
 
Thank you,
Rikh

Hey Rikh-VXI,
I have tried to re-create this your setup on our test machine and so far I am unable to get it to reproduce the same problem you are experiencing. Just to get some more background information from you, was there a specific reason for the upgrade to the newer version of NI-VXI and NI-VISA.
