Please check for sufficient disk space and necessary write permissions. The above error most likely means Maya couldn't create the ~fred/Documents/maya temp directory that it needs in order to run. I'd suggest you verify the user's home directory exists and is writable on the machine that tried to render that frame. ie. if the render is running as user 'fred', make sure 'fred' has a valid home directory on that machine that is writable to fred, and that a ~fred/Documents directory exists and is writable. One way to check: jump on that machine and login as the user, either via ssh or login through the console. I believe maya won't run and shows the above 'confusing' error if there's no home directory for the user, and/or if Maya doesn't have write access to ~/Documents. -- Greg Ercolano, erco@(email surpressed) Rush Render Queue, http://seriss.com/rush/ Tel: (Tel# suppressed) Cel: (Tel# suppressed) Fax: (Tel# suppressed) |
