In Maya 2022 (in GPU mode) the variance filter AOV output drivers don't appear to write out to the exr. You can verify this by adding a view meta data node in nuke on the exr. If you compare the meta data to another exr that was rendered from arnold with CPU instead of GPU you will see the differences. I'm hoping Autodesk will fix this soon 😞

This is a known limitation as we haven't yet finished porting all CPU features to GPU: https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5ARP/Supported+Features+and+Known+Limitations.
