light select render element not working

[mikegentile]

i'm looking for some help.
i've added the light select render element
i've selected the light

the element comes up in the buffer, but its black.
what is wrong with what i'm doing?

vray shadow element isn't working either.
we've recently installed the upgrade to 9machines, and i'm guessing things didn't go correctly.
any help would be appreciated. maybe a .dlo in the wrong spot?

okay so i got it to work once, so it's installed properly
but can't repeat it.
to get it working again....any thoughts?
my scene is 1 vray light and one plane. that's it.
is there a special, render setting or light setting?
anyone? anyone?

Be certain you have a Vray Material type on your objects else it will render black.
