	Yes, usually 'exit 128' is a special code from Maya indicating
	a license error of some kind, or so it used to be. I think they
	fixed that particular problem in 6.5, so after a few years I
	took the link away.

	I put it back just so that it would resolve for you now:

	..though I doubt that would be the problem seen today,
	unless there was a regression in maya.

	I'd agree with Saker, it's likely a permission problem
	between the user the Rush renders are running as, and the
	Maya install directory, or related dirs such as the directory
	containing maya's license file (eg. c:\flexlm\license.dat)

	First, try logging into farm14 *as the user 'render'*,
	and try opening up maya to see if you get similar errors.
	Or, try opening a DOS window while logged in as 'render'
	and try that same Render command from the executing line.

	My guess is the reason it 'worked' when you logged in
	before and ran the command is that you were logged in as
	a different user that has permission, where the 'render'
	user does not.

	Check the ACLs on the c:\flexlm directory and all files
	within to make sure they're readable to 'Everyone'.

	Ditto for the entire contents of the Maya install directory.

	Hope that helps; let me know if it doesn't.
	My guess is that somehow the install of Maya on that machine
	was done differently from the others, such that the perms
	were somehow applied differently during the install.
