hi,

i am running in some issue, when submitting a hqueue render with the hqueue render node.
client_A has houdini installed on c:\ and client_B has houdini on d:\

when submitting, lets say from client_B, with the $HFS variable in the "windows_hfs" section, the client_A looks for houdini on d:\, so it seems to pick up the value of $HFS from client_B, where it was submitted from, for all clients in the pool.
(so $HFS as a absolute value, not as a variable, which is wrong)

does somebody know how to setup hqueue render, so the clients can pick up the right houdini install location?
(i think i have to remap install paths, but how and where?)

the documentation says:
Houdini must be installed on every client machine and in the same install directory.
On Linux, the default Houdini installation path is /opt/hfsX.Y.ZZZ.
On Windows, the default Houdini installation path is C:/Program Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini X.Y.ZZZ.

if you stick to it you'll be fine.
