The first time I used it, it worked as expected. From then on, even though I’ve restarted the program, it will not work. Instead of working like the MaskCurve it works like the MaskRec Brush.
Where am I going wrong?

Tested with the same results using the default interface and all brushes restored.
In my experience, theres a glitch in R2 that sometimes makes clipping/masking brushes not “take” the first time you try to use them after switching to them. Instead, you get the default drag rect stroke type the first time you try to use, even though it doesn’t actually mask/clip anything.
Try to use the mask curve again for a second time, after drawing out that rect once, letting go, and trying to use it again.
Oh Yeah! Be sure you’re not confusing “Mask Curve”, with “Mask Curve Pen”. Almost the exact same name, but different behavior. The latter draws a dragrect stroke when started in empty canvas.
Thanks. Gave that a try. That method does work with other mask brushes when they don’t work the first go, but with the maskcurve brush no joy.
The very first time I tried it out, it worked perfectly? In fact it worked perfectly over and over again on that object. Since then, even in a new scene after closing and restarting it just won’t work. The graphic for it shows when I click Control but all I can get is maskrec behavior
Thanks again.
Yes I made that error and then noticed it. 
Not this time though.
bumping this as I’d like to know if its just me? Must be I guess. Perhaps a driver.
I guess I’ll try and reinstall and see if it starts working like it did the first time I tried.
