Arnold rendering only a few frames then saying complete?

[Shea_Lutz]

I've been trying to batch render about 1800 frames but the GPU renders between 5 and 15 frames and then says complete. After that it will only attempt to do a single frame and then produce a black screen and says complete. The CPU is rendering just fine but EXTREMELY slow and I only have the camera sampling set to two. I know there's usually some sort of check box but my instructor has no idea whats going on.

Please get an Arnold log for all frames, including the last one that does not render.

You're running Arnold 6.0.0.0 which is very old. Upgrade to the latest version of mtoa/arnold and there's a good chance it might work.
