Backburner problem -'error using bitmap file'

[Neilg]

Just what it says on the tin - when I render through backburner I get 'Error using bitmap file: C:\Program files\autodesk\3dsmax8\images'

Doesnt matter what pc I send it to, I get that stopping me. Rendering locally doesnt produce this at all and I tested it by sending the job to my machine and turning on my render server, and it came up with the error again

Anyone seen this before/know what its about?

[instinct]

well i assume one of the maps is locally on your puter, but not on the slaves ?

As a quick solution you could try ticking "include maps" when submitting the job, not the good way, but should do the trick :P

I solved it, haha.

In the asset tracker there was a random file pointing to that location, but it wasnt a map, didnt have an actual filename, and didnt exist in the scene.
Weird, but i'd expect nothing less from this scene... Ive seen more random errors in the past week of this than I have in the past 6 months.
