   Just a followup -- I should add that this has also been brought up
   on the Chaos Group's vray forum list here:
   http://www.chaosgroup.com/forums/vbulletin/showthread.php?49195-Rush-render-queue-Vray-duplicate-frames-jobs-loops&p=425308#post425308

   I think you need to be a member to read that article, but it's basically
   the same as the above; some users included a few details on the issues
   they were having.

   Be sure, of course, to enable the vray plugin in the maya plugin manager,
   and you may need to set the 'vray' plugin to 'autostart' (this from someone
   who was evaling the vray plugin, and was initially having trouble with the
   vray plugin using vray standalone licenses)
