Multiframe FG-map render farm issue

Greetings,

I'm a bit concerned about how my render farm handles multiframe FG-maps.

When a rendering multiframe FG-map with the render farm, all servers but one seem to fail right before completion. This means that I can only use one server to render out the FG-map, which is really time consuming.

I am not really sure how the FG-maps are saved, but it looks like they're first written into some kind of temporary file which when finished is supposed to be merged(?) with the master file. Logs from backburner indicates that there is some sort of renaming collision among the temp files, so my guess is that the temp files does not actually get merged together, but are instead renamed to the name of the master file. This could possibly lead to collisions with the other render servers.

Have anyone else experienced similar problems while rendering FG maps or got any suggestions about how to solve the problem?
