Image sequence texture isn't rendering in mental r

Maya
1

Hi, i'm using an image sequence texture on a nurbs plane in maya 6.5 on mac os x. the image sequence is on a server. it renders in maya software but not mental ray. is there anything i need to do?

2

Yes, check the error messages.

3

it says the image doesnt exist, but it does, and it renders fine if i don't click on image sequence and just use the one file. also when it gives me this error in mental ray, maya software renderer renders it black and then i have to go and find the images and load it again.

post the complete output

now, it's just saying the image sequence doesn't exist at all, even in maya software renderer. even thou when i click off image sequence, it loads and renders fine.

and now i've just restarted maya and it works fine in the software renderer, it's just when i try to render in mental ray it stops loading the sequence.
