This is because both submits are using the same $submitoptions:
my $submit = <<"EOF";
..
$submitoptions
..
EOF
my $submit2 = <<"EOF";
..
$submitoptions
..
EOF
If you look at the contents of the $submitoptions variable,
I think you'll understand why you're getting so many settings
common between the Shake and QT jobs.
In this case, the $submitoptions contains the 'logdir' and 'frames'
command from the shake job, and passing that to both jobs is what's
causing the overlap. ie. thats why the frame range and logdir are
coming up the same for both.
What you'll want to do is /not/ include the $submitoptions variable
in the second job, and just set the frames/logdir commands you want, eg:
### CREATE LOGDIR FOR QT JOB
my $qtlogdir = "${Slate_script_to_render}.log";
if ( ! -d $qtlogdir ) {
mkdir($qtlogdir, 0777);
if ( $G::iswindows ) {
my $dir = $qtlogdir; $dir =~ s%/%\\%g;
system("cacls $dirname /e /c /g everyone:f");
}
}
### SUBMIT THE QT JOB
my $submit2 = <<"EOF";
title $in{JobTitle}_QT
frames 1
command perl $G::self -render $Slate_script_to_render ..
logdir $qtlogdir
EOF
BTW, if you want to see what the first job's $submitoptions is set to,
you can stick an 'ErrorWindow();' command in there just above the first
submit, eg:
ErrorWindow("SUBMITOPTIONS IS SET TO:\n$submitoptions\n");
my $submit = <<"EOF";
..
This way when you submit a test job, you'll see what the variable
is set to, so you can then determine what you'll need to pass in
the second job, in case there's more than just 'frames' and 'logdir'.

I'm thinking my answers above should help with that.
Basically its that same "$submitoptions" variable being
passed to both jobs.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
