If your drive letter case does not match (e.g. Z:\ vs z:) in your manager config vs your render root in Blender, it will not correctly use the twoway variables. The alternate case seems to be ignored:

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Partial manager config:

_meta:
...
shared_storage_path: z:\Flamenco
...
variables:
my_storage:
is_twoway: true
values:
- platform: linux
value: /mnt/nas/Flamenco
- platform: windows
value: z:\Flamenco

In the Blender Plugin Render Output Root box
Z:\Flamenco

yields this in the log for a job on a linux host:

/home/ubuntu/BLENDER/blender -P gpu.py -y -b '/mnt/nas/Flamenco/2024-08-31-165708.030373-Attic1 pivot 1000 6/Attic12 pivot.flamenco.blend' --render-output 'Z:/Flamenco/Attic1 pivot 1000 6/2024-08-31_165714/######' --render-format TIFF --render-frame 730..739

Note it correctly uses the linux path for the executable, but not for the render root path and seems to ignore the two way variable on a case mismatch.

Changing the case in the plugin Render Root Output box yields this job log:

/home/ubuntu/BLENDER/blender -P gpu.py -y -b '/mnt/nas/Flamenco/2024-08-31-165938.608919-Attic1 pivot 1000 7/Attic12 pivot.flamenco.blend' --render-output '/mnt/nas/Flamenco/Attic1 pivot 1000 7/2024-08-31_165947/######' --render-format TIFF --render-frame 730..739
