Network rendering not finding dependancies, (Mac OS X 10.10)

I Just upgraded to Maxwell 3 and have installed all of my additional render nodes on the Macs I have set up as my render farm here at my office. I have 10 Macs total, including the Mac I do my work on. All of the Macs are running OS X. My work Mac, (the machine that I do all of my modeling on and have all of my Mxed files and dependancies on) is the only machine that I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite (10.10) The rest are running Mountain Lion or Mavericks. I update my OS before I updated Maxwell so I don't know if the problem I'm having is with the OS or something else.
All of my licenses are activate and the network monitor is seeing all of my render nodes and shows that they are all ready. When I try to start a cooperative rendering, I get an error message that says that all of my dependancies cannot be found and that the render won't be started.
Could this be an issue with Yosemite? If so, does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I have to go back to using Mavericks? I'm not sure why my render nodes show up on the network but they are not able to find any of the files they need to do the rendering. I have tried with several files. All do the same thing. Nothing has been moved in the file directories.

Try to update Yosemite to 10.10.1, it helped here to finally get stable networking connections with my mac rendderfarm.

Cheers
