Ok, just tried linux || MacOSX and MacOSX || linux (with and without
spaces)
the key shows up on the Service Key Expr on the the single tasks, but:
-only the first one shows up
-so far, only perry's computer is rendering (with MacOSX as the tag)
blender launchrender is still on limit tags, I wonder if the nodes lost
their blender rights somehow.
Cheers,
Bassam
