BUGZID: 14305
@BUGFIX: detection of Maya version
Fixed bug where the routine to find the appropriate version of maya on
the system would incorrectly detect maya versions of executables.
@BUGFIX: fixed bug in setting up various paths
Fixed a bug which may have affected the "dirmap" feature of Maya
during Qube renders, while setting up paths such as projdir and
imagedir.
@BUGFIX: OSX window server issue
Added "-batch" flag to the invocations of maya, to avoid problem
on some OSX installations. The OSX version of maya tries to connect
to the window server when the "-v" or "-prompt" option was specified
w/o the "-batch" option.
BUGZID: 14886
@BUGFIX: Rogue mayabatch processes
Added code to minimize the chance of having rogue mayabatch processes
on the worker when problems occur with the renderer.
