Hi Tommy,
Did you try reinhart.cal with MF:1 ?
If that works, you are most likely running up against your system limit on the number of simultaneous open files. The fix for this is discussed a number of times in the archives, and belongs in a FAQ.

I am trying to use vwrays and rcontrib to render sky patches. The code below works fine for the tregenza patches, but cannot render reinhart patches.
vwrays -ff vw|rcontrib @image\.opt \-ffc \-fo (vwrays -d $vw) -V+ -f tregenza.cal -b tbin -bn Ntbins -o images/patches/p%d.hdr -m skyglow a.oct
vwrays -ff vw|rcontrib @image\.opt \-ffc \-fo (vwrays -d $vw) -V+ -e MF:4 -f reinhart.cal -b rbin -bn Nrbins -o images/patches/p%d.hdr -m skyglow a.oct
Thank you!
Tommy
