Thanks Pat, I put the data in the same directory on both machines and
it got past the "error opening file" error. However, now when I try to
open the data I get these errors in the terminal:

[sgi6110:06921] *** Process received signal ***
[sgi6110:06921] Signal: Segmentation fault (11)

etc etc (if you need the whole thing, I'll send it, but there are 30
lines like this, ending with:

[sgi6110:06921] [29]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that process rank 1 with PID 6921 on node
sgi6110.ecse.rpi.edu exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).


And these errors in the paraview output messages:
------------------------

ERROR: In /home/doriad/src/ParaView3/Servers/Common/vtkServerConnection.cxx,
line 67
vtkServerConnection (0xa8800b0): Server Connection Closed!


ERROR: In /home/doriad/src/ParaView3/Servers/ServerManager/vtkSMArraySelectionInformationHelper.cxx,
line 79
vtkSMArraySelectionInformationHelper (0xa90eb70): Error getting array
settings from server.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

David
