looks like a conflict w mental ray shaders, but i suspect that is unrelated to your problem ...

... to get a better feel about what boolean operations like, have a search of the archive to get more ideas, clues, tips that any one poster might attempt to layout for you. try the tips thread, at he top here, first ... pretty sure it has a solid post on booleans?

try moving one object a little bit. also do a seach for boolean, this problem has been mentioned before. Some objects are too complex and can't be booleaned, but you can try the clean poly option. it might help.

Make sure the normals of both object are pointing in the same direction
