Hi Greg!!

Thanks for the answer!

Yes, it seems that the location of the log file is the key of the 
problem...

But I do not understand why I never had this problem before... I've 
rendered a lot of projects and never seen this problem...

I found a way to workaround it coding (a little bit) the maya_submit.pl 
file. Here's the change I've made:

..
..
..
..
  # LOGDIR BASED ON SCENE PATH
    if ( $in{LogDirectory} eq "" )
    {
	$in{LogDirectory} = "$in{ScenePath}.$in{JobTitle}.log";

	# CREATE LOGDIR ONLY IF AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED
	if ( ! -d $in{LogDirectory} )
	{
	    unless ( mkdir($in{LogDirectory}, 0777) )
	    {
		print STDERR "mkdir($in{LogDirectory}): $!\n" .
			    "Can't make log directory.\n";
		exit(1);
	    }
	    # WINDOWS: OPEN ACLS FOR THE LOG DIRECTORY
	    if ( $G::iswindows )
	    {
		my $dirname = $in{LogDirectory}; $dirname =~ s%/%\\%g;
		system("cacls $dirname /e /c /g everyone:f");
	    }
	}
    }
..
..
..
..

I've added "$in{JobTitle}" in the logdir creation. I've tested and worked 
fine.. Now is the responsability for whoever launches a job to keep 
different job names, but I always put in the scene name and the layer.

Can this hack affect in anyway the normal rush behavior?

Thanks for your time!!
