	Pretty sure that's a variation of this problem:
	http://www.seriss.com/rush-current/issues-afterfx-6.5/index.html#OSX

	AE is odd in that it needs access to the window manager
	during rendering, on both Windows and OSX, so it's basically
	a permission issue with AE not able to access the window manager.

	The fix is most likely just a matter of:

cd '/Applications/Adobe After Effects 6.5/'
chown 0:0 aerender
chmod 4755 aerender

	..just change the "Adobe After Effects 6.5" path to the
	appropriate CS3 pathname.
