OK, so sounds like you solved the previous problems.

Hmm, sounds like a different issue.
If the job submits but doesn't run on the farm,
hit 'Cpus' in irush for that job, to see if the cpus
the job is requesting is having trouble running jobs
as that user on the remote machines.
A common error is to see in the NOTES field of the
'Cpus' report is:
501: unknown uid
..where '501' might be any numeric value, usually
representing the UID of the user who submitted the job.
This error means that uid is not valid on the remote
machines, so rush can't run the renders as that user.
If you get that error, the fix is to make sure that user
has an account on all the render nodes with that same UID.
(It's important to have consistent uids for accounts)
Some companies prefer to force all renders to run as
a particular user, such as a 'render' user with some
fixed uid/gid. (To do that, you'd set the forceuid/forcegid
values in the rush.conf file)
Otherwise, please try to follow up with error messages from
the Cpus report, Frames report, or the rushd.log file, as
it should be indicating the error in one of those locations.

Hmm, sounds like some odd text is getting into
the history file that keeps track of your last submission.
Has the script been customized at all, or is there
anything unusual in how the submit script is invoked?
(ie. invoked by another script that tells the submit script
what the default options should be?)
