Hi,
I have several workgroups and only one for rendering. When submitting a job I only assign this rendering workgroup to the job in the Submit XSI to Deadline dialog. When starting the slave I get a message that only this rendering workgroup is loaded for the job but afterwards many error messages are coming telling about loading conflicting plugins from the other workgroups and the job never starts rendering.
Only copying the conflicting workgroups to another path seams to solve the problem. It seams that the XSIBATCH is considering the all workgroup definitions in the renderfile regardless if they are overridden in the submission dialog or through Modify Job Properties dialog in the Deadline Monitor.
Softimage 2012SP1 and Deadline 5.2.0.47700
Excerpt from message log:
0: INFO: Switching workgroup before rendering to D:\profiles\xsi\render2012

When I copy the conflicting workgroups to another path I get the following messages and the job starts properly:

Do you have any suggestions?
