That'll probably be your problem. If you've more than ten machines - either
interactive or standalone renders - trying to access a standard windows
machine for files, the machine that's serving the files won't allow access
because it's reached the limit of the number of machines it'll allow to
connect to it. If you're rendering using xsibatch then you'd get noicon
pictures in some frames but if your scene or the mi files you're generating
are on a windows machine, some rendernodes won't be able to get access.
