Backburner Job Share

[Thox]

Hello all,

 

I'm having a little trouble with backburner. We are running 3ds max 8 with backburner v3.0.

 

When we send a job to the render network via backburner, it comes up with the following message on the slave machine, when it recieves the job: -

 

INF Receiving new job from xxx.xx.x.xx

INF Cannot access job share \\Render101\Render Jobs\. Requesting archive directly.

 

and the it carries on rendering.

 

When I look in the backburner log it has the following: -

 

WRN C:\Program Files\Autodesk\backburner\cmd.task: Plug in already exists: Command Line Tool.

ERR Invalid Job Path defined: '\\Render101\Render101 Jobs'

 

I have setup the "Direct Access to Jobs Path" in manager to use the render machine Harddrive rather than the jobs path on the main server as it was creating new folders and files on the main server, which we don't want. However, when I set it back to use the jobs path of the main server, it still came up with the same error, does it need to be restarted?

 

Can anyone assist? I'm a complete noob when it comes to backburner, so if someone could explain the purpose of the job path/share thing I would be grateful and the best way to set this up.

 

Many Thanks

 

Nick
