Resend scene data - why can't I see scatter object?

[prisonbread]

I'm trying to use a scatter object to distribute some Forester grass across a landscape. As I have read on other threads, I need to check "resend all scene data" in order to see the animation of the Hyperwind effect which makes sense. In the live viewer window the grass appears to be animated, but once I check "resend all scene data" I can no longer see any of the grass I'm trying to clone with the scatter object in the picture viewer. I have an object tag on the grass I'm trying to clone, but still I can't see it. I tested this with just simple spheres scattered across the landscape to see if the Forester grass object was the problem, and apparently no matter what I put in the scatter object -- it doesn't show up in the picture viewer if "resend all scene data" is checked.

I'm confused because one thread, like I mentioned says "resend all scene data" worked for the user trying to clone animated Forester grass: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=61537

But another thread makes it sound like the only way to see a scattered object is to have "resend only updated objects" checked: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=53525&p=270199&hil ... ta#p270199

So which is it? And if some users are having success using scatter object to distribute animated Forester grass with "resend all scene data" checked, why isn't it working for me? I am using Octane v4.05 R7, and the latest build of Forester. Simple scene that demonstrates problem attached. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
