AE Renders not working correctly

6.0.49200 (Beta 6)

Mac OS 10.7.5

After Effects CS5.5

I tried submitting an AE job with a quicktime movie output. It seems to actually be rendering, but the slave reports an error, and thinks the render has stopped. The error is below.

This sounds like this problem:
viewtopic.php?f=156&t=8488

It should be fixed in beta 7, which we hope to get out next week.
