I'm just getting started learning RT, but when I start the IPR render, the frame buffer render launches but remains black. I've enabled VFB in the Common globals, DR is turned off and the RT Engine tab settings are default (CPU).
It's just a simple scene of a nurbs sphere and plane with VRayMtl applied and a default spot light. (see attachment)
I'm using V-Ray for Maya version 2.00.04 EDU from Apr 28 2011 on CentOS 5.6 64 and Gnome.
Here's the console output:

I've tried different materials and lights, and a VRay Sphere Light DOES render as solid white, but everything else remains black.
Hope you can help! I'm hoping/guessing that it's something easy.
Thanks,
