Here’s another little bugger.
I’ve just submitted a job via the integrated SMTD from 3ds Max 2011 and I included in the PostLoad textbox this path to my post-load script: \rammstein\LiveSync\scripts\repathAssets_render.ms
The script exists and works, I tried that numerous times via the Monitor submitter (which I use more frequently).
However, when submitted via the SMTD, I got this error from the job:
RenderTask: Unexpected exception (Exception caught in 3ds max: mxs::file_in() - Tried to execute a maxscript file which doesn't exist: "C:/Users/loocas/AppData/Local/Thinkbox/Deadline/slave/Vfx01/jobsData/repathAssets_render.ms"And sure enough, the script really isn’t there.
What am I doing wrong this time? 
I’m submitting a tiles rendering job and using the re-path paths method (so I’m not copying anything over to the repository, all is already there).
Here’s an excerpt from the log:
