This forum post looks really similar to your problem:

Do you have any missing textures on 1 of your render nodes?

It looks like the error is occurring in a specific plugin:

Does the scene file require this plugin? If not, try removing it from your render nodes to see if that helps. If it does require it, maybe you could try launching softimage in interactive mode on a slave to see if you can load the scene and render without Deadline in the picture.

thank you for the reply guys, as I read in other posts, something was wrong with scene…

somebody mapped the Databases shared folder \machine\databases on a Z: drive, and no machine can see that drive.

that guy is obviously fired :smiley:

sorry for the spam, but I could never imagine somebody could do somethign like that here.

Happy new year!
