We’re having issues with our Maya renders, they always fail with the same error. I was looking at it and noticed that the paths are wrong and I can’t sure what is causing that. I have placed in bold the area that’s causing me confusion. Initially it has the path listed corrected in the executing script line, but two lines later all the slashes are reversed and the job fails.
Any idea what we’re doing wrong?
