Hi,
I'm very impressed with tg2, and slowly getting to know it.
I've had success integrating Terragen 2 into my render farm setup, with one exception, I can't get the extra image argument to work correctly.
Here is the command line and arguments that are generated by some scripts, and launched on the slaves:

It looks to me like the '-ox' argument is being ignored, the output file taking a default value, but why the FORWARD slash in the pathname?
Any help or ideas appreciated.
