Dave's sitemap already updated. Yours will likely as well in the next few days. Nothing to worry about.

So when I use the google webmaster tools, both for my custom domain with and without www (since I know that sometimes matters), they say "no sitemap found for this site". And my google search results no longer show the breakdown they used to.

Does this mean SM disabled site maps for a while and is rebuilding them?

I think you may be looking at the wrong address. You can only have one custom domain address for each SmugMug account. If you look at the SmugMug account settings > me > account > custom domain section, you'll see that you've entered this as your custom domain:
www.captivephotons.com
That's the address for which we generate your sitemap:
http://www.captivephotons.com/sitemap-index.xml
(which was just generated a week ago)

and I highly recommend that you only use the address with the www to Google webmasters.

The address without the www is automatically redirected to your proper domain with the www. I can't say what happens if you add the one without the www as well and it's not something we support.

OK. I'm not quite sure I understand why having two views into it would matter (I thought these were just setups to look into their indexing). But I deleted the non-www.

So in a day or week or whatever I should see something on the page for "sitemaps" under All?

And my apologies, I thought the site-map-structured data showed under my name, it is showing under the domain name in a search, so it must be there. but wondering why it's not showing in the webmaster tools.

Google webmasters should pick up the sitemap automatically. If after some time, it still hasn't done so, you could try manually adding it. Just make sure that you only add the sitemap-index.xml file and none of the others that are referenced within the index file.
