The interesting pair for this thread are

2011-03-25 12:19:33 Einstein@Home [wfd] NVIDIA GPU: fetch share 0.00 LTD 0.00 backoff dt 0.00 int 0.00 (no new tasks)
2011-03-25 12:19:33 SETI@home [wfd] NVIDIA GPU: fetch share 0.00 LTD 0.00 backoff dt 0.00 int 0.00 (no new tasks) (blocked by prefs)

So, your version of the BOINC client logs "(blocked by prefs)" properly, but it looks like you haven't got it set here. That would explain the work fetch ;-)

What caught my eye with the log was:
Quote:
2011-03-25 12:19:32 SETI@home Computer location: school
2011-03-25 12:19:32 General prefs: using separate prefs for school

which is in conflict with Message 111247:

im trying to configure one of my machines to only run cpu tasks for einstein so i made the following preferences for school for einstein

So, it seems the computer is not on the right venue at Einstein.

the einstein preferences i was referring to there were the "Preferences for this project" school preferences. the other, global preferences were set in seti.

with these two comments, i went back and verified all preferences and venues and the settings were correct. when i looked at that machine again, i set the preferences to default, saved, then to school, saved again then issued a an update and got the following:

so it appears the "(blocked by prefs)" on the last line was what we were trying to accomplish right? i turned back on the work fetch but the settings on that computer are for a cache of 0.25 days so ill have to wait until later to see the behavior when einstein requests more work.

after monitoring the machine

after monitoring the machine today, it appears that all the settings are working properly. it is now only getting cpu wu for einstein and the log entries all look correct as well.

thanks again for all the assistance.
