Set the OutputPath to a dash ("-") if you're trying to bypass the submit
script's GUI, and want it to be 'empty'.
The Rush help description is only true for someone using the GUI
submit form, as there's logic in the submit form processor to turn
the blank field into a dash, so that it doesn't mess up argument processing.
If you're bypassing the GUI, then you'll need to add that logic in your
.jsx script to pass the OutputPath field as a dash, eg:
perl /path/to/submit-afterfx.pl -field OutputPath - -field Frames 1-10 .....

Have a look at AE's API documentation, as I think it sounds like
you might be trying to manipulate the AE queue's properties,
which means you'd also have to then re-save the .aep file after
making the change in order for aerender to see these changes on the farm.
Afraid I don't have any reference for doing that, but the AE forums
might be a good place to ask about that, if the AE API docs don't make
it clear.

There probably is, I'm not sure myself.
Again, I'd defer to the AE API docs or AE forums, but I'll take a look
at the SDK docs and see if I can answer that here.
