Short description of error
When submitting a file to the Flamenco manager, the baked hair simulation cache folder can't be used due to the manager duplicating the file with a ".flamenco" extension. ( see attached screen grab)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create hair particle system. Enable hair dynamics. Bake dynamics to disc ( so that other machines on the network can bake the same sim).
As a test I opened the newly created file and baked the sim again. It created a new cache folder according to the new file name. After uploading that to the farm everything rendered as expected.

After further hair simulation cache research I realized I had to name the cache for the external location read to work. relative paths allowed both windows and linux systems to see the cache on the network. Everything is working as intended.
