Houdini Wedge ROP Submission Issue

Deadline
1

Hello, I am having trouble submitting a Wedge ROP to Deadline, I have searched the forum but none of the other posts seemed to have my problem. When I submit with the Deadline ROP or Render > Submit to Deadline, I get error-ed out and the job fails, with a permission error, more specifically;

Error: Caught exception: [’ File “C:/PROGRA~1/SIDEEF~1/HOUDIN~1.173/houdini/python2.7libs\hou.py”, line 44056, in _set\n def _set(*args): return _hou.Parm__set(*args)\n’, ‘PermissionError: Failed to modify node or parameter because of a permission error. Possible causes include locked assets, takes, product permissions or user specified permissions\n’]at Deadline.Plugins.PluginWrapper.RenderTasks(String taskId, Int32 startFrame, Int32 endFrame, String& outMessage, AbortLevel& abortLevel)

I am using Deadline version 10.0.24.1 and Houdini 17.5.173 (I also tried with Houdini 17.0.416). I am trying to get this to work with a simple scene that just changes how dense a sphere is, it works fine locally. I tried hard coding the render location as well, instead of using the default $HIP.

I noticed there was also a Warning before it error-ed out in the Log, but I notice this in successful renders as well;

Warning: The following node types are using incomplete asset definitions:

Thank you

SOLVED:
I was pointing my wedge to a file cache that was locked (if you double click it and open it, it is all grey). I used a rop_geometry instead, setting a strict frame range on it instead and it works.
