I believe the problem here was one of permissions on the license file
or directory, where the user the Rush render was running as didn't have
read permission to the license file, so nuke couldn't load it.

The way to debug this sort of thing is to login to the machine in question
as the user the rush render is running as, which you can see from the
"Host:" and "RunningAs:" lines in the rush log.

To determine the problem, you would login as that user on that machine,
and then try to 'more' the license file to see if you have permission
to read it, eg:

	more "/Applications/Nuke5.0v2/Nuke5.0v2.app/Contents/MacOS/*.lic"
	more "/usr/local/foundry/FLEXlm/foundry.lic"
	more "/Library/Application Support/TheFoundry/FLEXlm/*.lic"

Note that quotes are needed if the pathnames contain spaces.

The above are unix commands, though similar commands should work in DOS
as well, only you'd need to avoid the '*' wildcards, as the DOS shell
doesn't handle wildcard expansions the same way as unix shells. (In DOS,
wild cards are handled by the command, not the shell, and only certain
DOS commands, like "DIR", can handle wildcards)
