anyone help~~

Hi Leonardo.

I’ve been testting Muster 5.2 based distributed rendering with XSI 6.0 , 3ds Max 9.0 in windows server 2003, and got some error messeges from both of them

for XSI:
1. calling XSIBatch.bat, and using UNC scene path：
[MUSTER]Spawning process C:SoftimageXSI_6.0ApplicationbinXSIBatch.bat inside C:SoftimageXSI_6.0Applicationbin using the following command line flags:

[MUSTER]-r -startframe 25 -endframe 26 -step 1 -verbose “prog” -scene “\RfserverdigiManRootproductionASP_RnDxsiPrjScenesxsiRenderTestDisp.scn”

The system cannot find the path specified.

[MUSTER]Process terminated with the following exit code: 1

2. calling XSIBatch.bat and using drive mapping path:
[MUSTER]Spawning process C:SoftimageXSI_6.0ApplicationbinXSIBatch.bat inside C:SoftimageXSI_6.0Applicationbin using the following command line flags:

[MUSTER]-r -startframe 25 -endframe 26 -step 1 -verbose “prog” -scene “Y:ASP_RnDxsiPrjScenesxsiRenderTestDisp.scn”

The Filename, Directory Name, or Volume Label Syntax Is Incorrect.

[MUSTER]Process terminated with the following exit code: 1

3. calling “XSIBatch.exe” and UNC path, everything is ok, but you’d setup the Envirenment Variables manually.

and for Max, all the renderclient radomly encounter errors like this:
[MUSTER]Spawning process C:Program FilesAutodesk3ds Max 93dsmaxcmd.exe inside C:Program FilesAutodesk3ds Max 9 using the following command line flags:

[MUSTER]-v:5 -start:2 -end:2 -nthFrame: 1 Y:ASP_RnDMaxProjscenesrenderTest.max

[MUSTER]Process terminated with the following exit code: 3

Do you mean that I can find the full pathname of packets’ log files in the file “renderclient.log”?
but I can’t find any logs’ path infomation from the my renderclient.log,
I’m just confused what does the following settings do:
############################
dispatcher.conf:
rc_log_cmdline = 1
rc_log_retcode = 1
renderclient_log_format = %job_name%.%job_id%.%chunk_id%.%hostname%.%timestamp%.txt

rc.conf:
log_folder = /var/log/muster
log_folder_share = \%*hostname*%muster_logs
############################

the following is my renderclient.log:
