Hi Dylan,

	The submit-maya script has 'renderman(rman)' as one of
	the options at the "Renderer:" prompt, which will cause
	maya to load the maya scene, and render it with the renderman
	plugin.

	If you want it to generate ribs on one host, then render it
	on a separate host, that can probably be tied into a single
	job/script; show me ribgen and render commands you're currently
	using in the two-job process, and I can tell you how it can
	be managed as a single job.
