Are you able to take a look at some kind of command line render output?
Does it say that it does not find the addon?
How have you installed the Realflow plugin? User or workgroup path?
I had some problems with addons on our farm. (once!)
Installing the addon into the workgroup path is nice if you have some
people working with XSI and want them to get the addon, but not for a
render farm.
XSI does not seem to be able to install an addon on multiple
workstations at the same time. I tried it because it seemed to be a
"install once and forget" solution, but it was more work that before.
The addon was not installed correctly and had to be removed and
installed again on the half of our machines.
That's why I'm sending a new addon to my farm first. Then I send the
scenes with the new addon.
It is installed into the user path and the installation is started by
the same render client (with the same user), that I use for rendering. I
don't have to worry about different user names, different environment
scripts and that stuff.

Anyone know how to do this?? I have installed the realflow addon on the
render machines, but it does not load the frames of meshes - the whold
render has the first mesh in it!! It does not seem to be able to update
the meshes!
thanks
