I'm trying to get rid of a long standing bug in my python-based Houdini scripts. The hbatch command is passed via the Notes field, just as it is in your perl version of the script. According to your docs however the notes field needs to begin with a frame range, correct?
title cca0030_fx_cloves_007_v001.hip-ROP_cloves_noholdout_HOUDINI
frames 1398-1578,1000000

notes COMMAND: render -Va /out/ROP_cloves_noholdout
This typically produces an error and causes the render to immediately go to retry #2:
"rush: 'rush -notes': frame range error: 'retry': bad frame number at 'r'"
