Phoenix renders black on Deadline farm

Phoenix 1.2, VRay 2.00.02, Deadline 4.1 SP1, 3ds max 2011 x64, Win 7

I'm wondering if this is a known issue with Phoenix and Deadline, or if there's some trick to make network rendering of Phoenix sims work in general. Every frame comes out black, whether or not the VRay VFB is used, and whether or not it's set to render to .vrimg files. Local renders are fine.

did you set the input path to be network visible? phoenix does NOT copy the cache files to the render slaves and because of this the scenes with default input path will produce no result in distributed rendering. the path is set in the "input" roll-out.
