With Mac OSX 10.4 and maxwell 1.5.1 i had network rendering working fine. Then upgrading to Mac OSX 10.5 and 10.5.1 we cannot get anything rendered on the network. We urgently need to get this working.

The problem still happens with 1.6.1?

Any ideas?

I have checked and mounted the volumes on both machinces and have accessed in both directions to the folders needed.

Are you using smb volumes (windows sharing) or afp (personal file sharing)? AFP volumes should work correctly but smb volumes can have problems when using a different bitmap folder because of inconsistencies on OSX 10.5 when mounting Windows (smb) volumes.

I am using afp (personal file sharing).

[wow001]

when looking through the file path there are some locked folders but the last folder that there are writing to have access and can read and write (through the finder).

Here is the failed server log.
Yet I can reach this mxs through the finder and copy it to this machine.

I would just mention that I have no luck in network rendering, OSX 10.4
