ok.

i executed the script seemingly succesfully now, but dont know what is 
happening exactly: have only gotten frames from one node so far:

this is what the script reported:
xseed1:~ orange$ python xseedsimplerender.py 
did: /opt/pdsh/bin/pdsh -w 10.224.10.41 blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender -b 
emo_hairanimtest.blend -a -s 1 -e 5
did: /opt/pdsh/bin/pdsh -w 10.224.10.42 blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender -b 
emo_hairanimtest.blend -a -s 6 -e 10
did: /opt/pdsh/bin/pdsh -w 10.224.10.43 blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender -b 
emo_hairanimtest.blend -a -s 11 -e 15
(...)
did: /opt/pdsh/bin/pdsh -w 10.224.10.55 blender.app/Contents/MacOS/blender -b 
emo_hairanimtest.blend -a -s 71 -e 75

and with pdsh ps i can see that blender is busy on every one of those nodes:
xseed1:~/renderout orange$ /opt/pdsh/bin/pdsh -w 10.224.10.50 ps xu | grep 
blender
10.224.10.50: orange  7583  112.5 -60.7  1306788 1273968  ??  Rs   10:35AM  
42:44.59 blender.app/

.. i guess that 112.5% cpu usage means that the threaded render is succesfully 
using the two processors somewhat at least?

but so far i have results only from the first node, 41 that is - in 
~orange/renderout:
emohair0001.png                 
emohair0002.png

i wonder what is happening on the other nodes,
is there a way to know more? i tried to make the script so that it outputs the 
stdouts of the commands on all the nodes, but so far it has not given 
anything from them (might be my bug)

as that 1st node 41 was given a similar command to the others, i dont know 
what is stopping them .. it is possible that those later frames are just 
slower to render, but as the 1st is already done with 2 (i guess 3 soon) i 
doubt that is the case .. will see soon
