Error: No module named site, In all Houdini jobs and all slaves

Hi we are having this Error: No module named site in all Houdini jobs and all slaves.

Not sure if this is the problem, but recently we did a fresh install of deadline repo but still get it hook up with the old _DeadlineRepository10 in the server. All our nuke, maya jobs are running fine in Deadline, just not Houdini.

Right now we have a lot of jobs running so it will not be ideal to re-install deadline repo again just to test if it could be solved this way, hence is there any other way that we could work around to tackle it?
