    Yes, you probably need to find and change this line in the submit script:

        my $command = "xsibatch -r -scene $opt{Database} " .

    ..and change it to read instead:

        my $xsibatch = ( $G::iswindows ) ? "xsibatch.bat" : "xsibatch";
        my $command = "$xsibatch -r -scene $opt{Database} " .

    This way the script invokes "xsibatch.bat" (instead of just "xsibatch")
    on Windows machines.

    This apparently didn't used to be needed, but in newer versions of XSI,
    the contents of their bin directory changed where this is now needed.

    I'll include this fix in the next release of Rush (102.42a8).
