First of all, a question: Can you read the message from the MSGed or not?

Probably not, if that's the problem, most probably you have defined the
areas with different filenames in squish and msgarea.ctl, which can happen
you know. :) AFAIK, MSGed reads the squish.cfg file in order to get the
area definitions, therefore it would be quite normal to be able to toss a
message after writing it in MSGed. But Maximus uses its marea.dat and this
depends on the msgarea.ctl. Better not be preaching. :)
