I presumed most facilities now automated this? So you get the best of
both worlds. Sure its easier to bring in one file but its 'better' to
bring in multiple sequences and have something behind the scenes present
this to the artist as a single entity by shuffling and grouping. This
then becomes a single click for the artist. Doesn't get easier than that!

That might be true. The argument I hear from the compositors is that
it's easier to just bring in one file rather than 25. But when
rendering, and possibly re-rendering it makes more sense to render to
multiple files.
Even with EXR 2.0 there is still a need to re-render all passes, even
if you just needed to tweak the AO. But there is of course the
possibility to combine all the passes in nuke as a post process to
have a multichannel EXR workflow.

Don't forget that multi-layer EXRs have higher read overhead than
single-layer files do, since layers are scanline-interleaved
within the EXR file itself.
Until everyone starts using EXR 2.0 (including Nuke's exrReader),
separate sequences is still the more efficient option.

*Subject:* Re: [Nuke-users] Trouble Importing my EXR with Layers
What I gather from your post is that you have rendered to multiple
EXR's instead of one EXR with layers. This is actually my prefered
way of doing it as a multichannel EXR requires you to shuffle out
the layers anyway (unless you want to specify what layers to merge
in every merge node eg.)
If you are using V-Ray you pick exr (multichannel) as your output
to get multichannel exr.
My prefered way is to just drag and drop the folder containing the
rendered images into nuke, nuke will automatically identify the
sequences and you are good to go.

Can you actually describe the problem?
What does 'S?' mean?

Hey, Ive just rendered out all my layers in maya such as
the ligths, diffuse, specular etc etc, but when I try and
bring them into nuke I have to make a read file for each
individual pass because for some reason it wont import a
single EXR sequence with layers.
How do I get around this :S?
any help is greatly apreciated!!
