System Information
CentOS 6, Nvidia Titan

Blender Version
Broken: 2.70 19e627c and 2.70a official
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
Dupligroup made out of a linked file object do not render on network (cycles).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Make and Object1. Link an Object2 from a file. Make a group out of Object2. For Object1 in object->duplication->group select that group with the Object2.
Object2 won't appear on render. Renders fine on a local machine.

Please always attach .blend files which demonstrates the issue. For now i only have one clue: objects were linked with absolute path, so opening file from another computer wouldn't work unless you store files on exactly the same location.

But it's also unclear, are you using some sort of network render or just open files with blender on another machine?

Sorry for that. Here they are. Two files, one of them is the reference for another (network_render_test.blend is the main one). And i'm rendering using "network render" with Cycles (render farm - to clarify), not just on the other machine on network. The linkage is relative.

Please, confirm the bug. It's quite crucial for complex simulation projects with object instancing using.

Network render addon is currently missing a maintainer, and for my knowledge it never dealed with the libraries.

What you can do is to pack libraries into .blend file before sending to the render (you'll find it in the space-bar menu).

For until we've got network render addon maintainer would consider this is a TODO. Can't update official list in wiki atm because of maintaince there, but as soon as maintaince is done will update the list.

Packing libraries did the trick! Thanks a lot!
