Chris,
As it turns out, the PFPATH was set up different on the machines. The
machines had a different path order for looking for the given texture for the
database I was running.
It turns out that the name was the same for the two databases (road.rgb),
therefore, it was reading the texture from the incorrect database due to this
order issue.
Thanks,
George.
