DR over Backburner stopped working after switching to new Vray 3.2.02

[PIXELBOX_SRO]

Hi guys,
after switching to the new Vray, the DR is not working when the job is sent to BB anymore.
When we run the DR and render on main workstations, the DR buckets kick in nicely...but when the job is sent to BB, only the machine that receives the jobs is rendering and other machines dont.
However, the node machines show signs of loading the job and even the memory and processor usage goes up.
Any idea whats wrong?
Thanks for any help!

If you look at the vraylog.txt file on the BB machine, is there anything interesting there?

Best regards,

Hi Vlado,
sorry for not knowing but where can i locate the vraylog file on the BB machine?
The only one i can find there is located in the root of C: but its obsolete and from another job, that probably ran localy there.
Cheers

but i only have vray enabled and no mental ray obejcts in the scene ...

Normally it's in the %temp% folder.

ok so i ve enabled all the checkboxes in the DR panel and it works.
I think the "Save servers in the scene" did the trick...although i can t see no reason why it is not running without this checkbox ticked?

If you don't use this option, then you have to manually edit the V-Ray-DR.cfg on the machine that receives the BB job.
