HOST Failed errors with multi-core processing in Compressor

I used Digital Rebellion's Pref Mgr to trash all prefs; then Compressor Repair to fix them. Rebooted. Stopped Qmaster. Reset services. Established 5 instances ( I have 8 core Xeon 2.8ghz Mac Pro ). Restarted Qmaster sharing. Opened FCP file, sent to Compressor. Selected DVD settings. Chose cluster I set up in Qmaster. Submitted. Instant "HOST Failed" error messages on the five instances that appeared in Batch Monitor.

Help. Tired. Frustrated. ******.

Mac OS X (10.6.2)

If you really are running 10.6.2, I'd start by running all software updates.

See what happens if you export a 5 minute section of your movie, export that as a master file and bring that movie into a new Compressor job,

Post a screen shot of the Computer Sharing settings window to see whether anyone can spot something amiss.
