Vexing Problem with Farm

I’m getting a crazy error that I’m pulling my hair on. Submitted job renders on maybe 7 of 30 slaves. Mix of minis and trashcans. I’ve included log for one node that’s tossing this failure. Any insight would be huge!

Looks like the user who submitted it was on a machine where the “projects” mount was taken by another user. OS X’s AutoFS then made a second mount named “projects-1” which doesn’t exist on the render machines. Try re-submitting the job and making sure the machine only has that volume mounted only once.
