Re: OT: service-based render can't see mapped drives.

De nada. Weird thing is I have experienced no problems at the office. The 
problem was there whenever I brought scenes home, while using same mapped 
drives in both places, so somehow it sometimes ignore the mapped paths and 
look for server names is my guess. It is absolutely infuriating that there 
seems to be no way to force XSI to use paths exactly as specified.
