> Why do I have to run submit scripts from a Network drive?
It's best if it's run from a drive that all the machines can see,
so that one can make changes to just the one script, and all the
machines see that script.
Production companies always have a server that contains all their
data for rendering, so that all the machines see the same data
when the data is changed.
> The network drive, could be the server drive mounted in the clients via AFP?
Yes. AFP, NFS, NTFS, any of the above.
The script submits /itself/, so the script not only runs on the
local machine when you invoke it to bring up the GUI, but it also
is run on each rendering machine, because it is also the 'render script'
that handles invoking the renderer.
