To test if it is a problem with Maestro, you can press the "Preview" 
button when you have the feature source open.
In the browser, click "Display features". If the data shows, its likely 
a Maestro problem.

What are the exact steps you took to produce the error?
And what is the exact error message?
Does the Shape filename have a space or other non-standard character?

A feature source could in theory have more than one geometry column, or 
perhaps both geometry and raster data.
Since both SHP and SDF are file based, the name does not mean much, and 
the people building the two providers
gave the geometry column different names. In other words, it's ok for 
them to be different.

No need to apologize, this list is created so people can ask questions.
