I used a similar but slightly different approach ( I had forgotten about
this article ;-( ). Anyway, I am using AFP, not NFS, and while the
principle is the same, there are important differences between the
filesystems that could cause permissions and masks to behave differently.
My approach was to test for the existence of the custom mountpoint I
created at root, and then execute "su - renderuser -c 'ls -l
/automount/Servers/' " and that would automount the five AFP Mounts
stored in my local NIDB. Three lines of code and it works great. The
mounts are owned by "renderuser", with the following mask: 0700. If you
did not use the su command then the filesystem would be owned by the
root user, which obviously would be a problem given the mask noted above.
Yes, the test machine is a fully revved version of Tiger Server (not
sure about the submitting machine but that is probably not relevant), so
I am baffled.

How are you mounting your SMB/NFS/AFP shares without logging in first?
I use NFS with this technique:
http://seriss.com/cgi-bin/rush/newsgroup-threaded.cgi?-view+764+764+770+771+772
The mount is available at all times.
That's interesting because on my test machine, even with aerender
setuid'd root, I cannot get it to render. I must first login.
What's the (entire) frame log say when it fails?
ie. is it a missing mount problem, or an AE error message?
If this is a new machine installed from the CDs, be sure to take
the update first (ie. bring 10.4.0 -> 10.4.3) and reboot.
I have a vague recollection that without the update, some 3rd party
renders wouldn't start.
