The fix was uploaded to the Deadline 7.1 download folder (where you get all installers) on Friday.
It was provided by Grant last week and will be part of future versions of Deadline.
We apologize for the inconvenience!
It should also fix the problem with updating from Repository defaults (e.g. custom settings for Delimiter etc.) in the passes - previously, RPM only initialized the SMTD settings to factory defaults, but did not load any custom values.
