the flag makes XSI connect to the FaceRobot workgroup, and all the code to face robot is in that workgroup. I don't have the time to test it, but in theory if the workgroup is not present I think it could just do nothing and fail gracefully. If that doesn't work, actually enabling face robot on the render farm could fix it, because I recall that it's pretty drastic when face robot needs to be enabled during scene load: I think it cancels the scene load, enable the workgroup, and load the scene again. Perhaps some software are parsing the log output of xsibatch and finding something they don't like. It's also possible that an error message box poped up, and that aborts xsibatch.
