I don't think you can share Maximus event files in this way. 

If you tell 6 nodes to use the same event file, all 6 nodes will try to execute 
the same thing at the same time, each in its own DOS window. Which could be 
causing your timing problems.

Perhaps you can try creating a semaphore so that only one node (the first node 
to execute the event) can run at any time. You can do this by tellign the other 
batch files to return from the event immediately "if EXIST %file%" etc.
