hi Greg,
I am trying to use the system fonts, Arial would do, they live on the local drive and the servers are mounted as nfs mount points at boot time so need to check. that one is indeed an uninitialized variable, doesn't harm the renders though. the only info I found about this is here http://lists.apple.com/ archives/Shake-users/2005/Aug/msg00000.html
but nobody replied to that.
any other thoughts?

	Since this is OSX, I guess it begs the question: do you have network
installed fonts? If so, are the fonts on /mnt/vfxxserve3, or somewhere else?

	eg. if you have your fonts installed on a network drive that
isn't mounted automatically at boot time, that might explain the errors.

Try comparing the output of the 'mount' command a) when you ssh into the machine before anyone's logged in, vs. b) when someone logs into the machine. Do new paths appear after the user has logged in? Are there network fonts
	installed in any of those paths?

	I'm not sure if that's the problem, just a guess.
	If anyone else on the group would like to chime in, please do.

	Hmm, probably unrelated, but what's going on with lines
	38 and 39 of your script?

	Sounds like an uninitialized string due to a typo or use
	of an uninitialized variable.

	If you email me a copy of your current 'submit-shake-mike.pl' script
(on private email) as an attachment, I'll try to let you know what might
	be causing those warnings, as they could cause other problems.
