"/Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/Maya.app/Contents/bin/MayaENV.sh" && "/Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/Maya.app/Contents/bin/Render" -s QB_FRAME_START -e QB_FRAME_END -b QB_FRAME_STEP -of "jpg" -rd "/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2013/scene" -fnc name.#.ext -renderer "mr"  "/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2013/scene/test.ma"',
                      'scenefile' : '/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2013/scene/test.ma',
                      'mayaEnvCommand' : '"/Applications/Autodesk/maya2013/Maya.app/Contents/bin/MayaENV.sh" &&',
                      'simpleCmdType' : 'Maya BatchRender (mr)',
                      '-of' : 'jpg',
                      'frameCount' : '25',
                      'range' : '1-25',
                      '-render' : '/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2013/scene/test.ma',
                      '-rd' : '/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2013/scene',
                      '-fnc' : 'name.#.ext',
                      'shell' : '/bin/sh',
                      '-renderer' : 'mr',
                      }

    listOfJobsToSubmit = []
    listOfJobsToSubmit.append(job)

    listOfSubmittedJobs = qb.submit(listOfJobsToSubmit)

    for job in listOfSubmittedJobs:
        print job['id']

The 'todo' field is set server-side once the job is stored in the database, not before submission.

When building the job, use the qb.genframes('1-25') to set the job['agenda'].
