Error Type
RenderPluginException

Error Stack Trace
at Deadline.Plugins.Plugin.RenderTask(Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame)
at Deadline.Slaves.SlaveRenderThread.RenderCurrentTask()

I think the problem might be related to the project file name: Geoff’sRawCutsSLAM.aep

Try renaming the file without the apostrophe (ie: GeoffsRawCutsSLAM.aep) and see if that helps.
