"Skip already existing files" Not Working Correctly

When running a batch render from multiple machines, "Skip already existing files" does not work as intended. It seems that because there is no file written until after the render finishes, they don't recognize that they shouldn't be rendering the same frame.

Is there a way to get around this, or get it to work correctly?

Thanks,
Ian

I tried using it and failed as well. Too bad because that would be a neat way to distribute render on a renderfarm, everybody rendering to the same network storage.
