Compressord (2.3) is crashing on remote node upon submission

Question

I set up a cluster of two machines to help compress a project I've been working on, but the remote machine's compressord immediately dies any time I try to offer it work.
I don't have a way to easily copy data off of the other machine at the moment, but I can try to offer a brief description and see if anyone has a clue. Note that I did perform updates and all that.
system.log reports a few instances of NSCFString are being released without an autorelease pool. Next, ``[NSCFDictionary scheme]: selector not recognized'' is logged a couple of times.
I'm using compressor 2.3 (Final Cut Studio 5.1).
The crashing thread is something like this:

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
