DR will write IRR, but can't read ??

[bKittsARC]

I hesitate at even making another troubled DR post, but I can't seem to find any other threads with a similar condition.

I'm testing with a simple scene of just a field of teapots, no maps.... when rendering DR will kick in and contribute to the IRR calc, and write out to file, but then when it flips to rendering the DR nodes can't load the irr, the message log is says that it's sending XXXX bytes of the irr map to the rendernode, but it never starts rendering.

Additionally the irr map it helps to write out is clean, I can render with IRR from file cleanly on the local machine, but again the DR node never kicks in to help.


anyone have any ideas? below is what I'm finding in the log files....


VrayLog.txt.server seems to point at the problem when if goes to render, but I don't know what to do about.
