Any help would be appreciated.
This is a bug that was fixed in a July 2005 release (102.42).
From the release notes for 102.42, which describes the problem:
o Fixed problem with loading checkpoint files.
On reboot, job was not loading if it contained a hostname that was no longer
in the rush hosts file. Example:
1) Job requests hosts a,b,c
2) Sysadmin removes host 'b' from hosts file
3) Daemon reboots
4) On reloading job requesting hosts "a,b,c", job fails to load
because 'b' is no longer a valid host.
Looks like you're currently running 102.41, which is very old:
11/09,18:05:08 START 3dfx037 RUSHD 102.41 PID=..
^^^^^^
When production allows, upgrade to the current version, 102.42a7,
the upgrade is free.
Contact me directly via email, and I'll send you the upgrade
instructions.
