I have installed Deadline SP1 on all machines but for some reason the slaves don’t seem to render. I recently edited my plugin paths to be hosted on the network so I am hoping I didn’t miss something that would be causing this. Here is the logfile from one of the slaves; notice the bold text… I think this is where it’s erroring out:
